Concavity test:
\(a) If
for all
in
, then the graph of
is concave upward on
.
(b) If
for all
in
, then the graph of
is concave downward on
.
Thus, the graph is concave up in the intervals
and
.
The graph is concave down in the interval
.
Inflection points are
and
.
The function
is concave up in the intervals
