AP Calculus BC Fun 4 E Justify Conclusions About the Behavior of an Implicitly Defined Function Based on Evidence From Its Derivatives Questions question 1

Given the following differential equation .

Find the second derivative, d2ydx2\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}, in terms of x and y. The region in the x y-plane where all the solution curves to the differential equation are concave down can be expressed as a linear inequality.

Find this region.
