    The second derivative is negative

    Explanation:

    The second derivative in a case of a short-run total product curve with a standard shape will be negative since the initial curve/function is maximized.

    A short-run total product curve which is also known as the total product curve represents the total amount of products a firm can produce at a given time using a given amount of labor i. e labor is held constant while other inputs like technology and methodology are considered inputs.
