9: The second derivative is

Dividing points:

However, cos(x) = −2 is not possible and
cos(x) = 1 is true only for
x = 2kπ,
which is not in the domain. Thus f ′′ is never zero.
Since
y2 + y − 2 < 0
for
y = cos(x) from [−1,1), the numerator in
f ′′ is always positive, the denominator also positive, so
f ′′ > 0 on all intervals of the domain.
Thus f is concave up on all intervals of its domain.
No inflection points.
Now draw coordinate axes and mark all points and trends we learned so far.
