24: The domain is
D( f ) = ℝ.
The second derivative is
![](gif6/ecc6ca2.gif)
Dividing points: The equation
f ′′(x) = 0 has solutions
x = −1 and
x = 2.
There are no points in D( f ) where the second
derivative does not exist.
Intervals of concavity will be
(−∞,−1],
[−1,2], and
[2,∞).
Determine concavity and points of inflection using a chart.
