we're being nerdy, let's actually be a little bit careful.
-
This was a first order condition or a first order necessary condition.
-
I actually need to check the second order condition.
-
So how do I check the second order condition?
-
I differentiate again, right?
-
I differentiate a second time and check the sign,
-
so the second order condition,
-
I differentiate this expression again with respect to q1.
-
The only place q1 appears here is here,
-
so when I differentiate again I'm going to get -2b
-
and sure enough that's negative,
-
which is what I wanted to know,
