The function is
,
.
Differentiate with respect to
.


Again differentiate with respect to
.



Determine the values of
, at which
or
does not exist.

Since
is always either less than or equal to
or greater than or equal to
, it never be equal to
.
Consider
.
So the concavity is depends on
.
Then
.

The values of
is
in the given interval
.
Test for concavity in the intervals
and
.
