Using the chain rule, we can write
dydx=dydtdtdx=dydtdxdt (Equation 1)
It is given that x=t2+1
We can use the sum rule followed by the power rule to differentiate this
dxdt=2t21+0=2t
It is given that y=t2+t
We can use the sum rule followed by the power rule to differentiate this
dydt=2t21+1=2t+1
Substitute the expressions for dy/dt and dx/dt in (Equation 1), to get
dydx=2t+12t=1+12t
To find the concavity, we need the second derivative with respectr to x, so we will now differentiate both sides with respect to x
ddx[dydx]=ddx[1+12t]
In the right-hand side, we can use the chain rule to write
d2ydx2=ddt[1+12t]dtdx
d2ydx2=[012t62]1dxdt
In the red expressiob, replace dx/dt with 2t
d2ydx2=12t212t=14t3
Remembet that the graph is concave up/down depending on whether the second derivate is positive/negative respectively.
Note that:
(1)the number is never 0, so there are no sign changes that occur because of that.
(2) the denominator is 0 when t = 0. This makes rational function discontinuous, so we will use that to divide the number line into intervals that need to be checked.
To check thi sign on (,0),we will used=1
d2ydx2t=1=

x=t2+1,y=t2+t
Find the derivates with respect to t
dxdt=2tdydt=2t+1
then we can find
dydx=dydtdxdt=2t+12t
For the next one we take the derivate of dydx with respect to t
ddt(dydx)=2(2t)(2t+1)(2)4t2=4t4t24t2=12t2
then divide it by dxdt
d2ydx2=ddt(dydx)dxdt=12t22t=14t3
d2ydx2 is positive and the curve is concave up for t < 0
d2ydx2 is negative and the curve is concave down for t > 0

Given that:
x=t2+1
Derive x with respect to t: dxdt=2t
Given that: y=t2+t
Derive y with respect to t:dydt=2t=1
Using chain rule to find: dydx=dydt×dtdx=dy/dtdx/dt=2t+12t=1+12t
Take the derivative of dydx with respect to t:
ddt(dydx)=2(2t)(2t+1)(2)4t2=4t4t24t2=12t2
and then divide it by dxdt to find d2ydx2:
d2ydx2=ddt(dydx)dx/dt=12t22t=14t3
The curve is concave upward when d2ydx2>0, that is, when t<0
1+12t,14t3,C.U. for t<0
