Given function is f(x)=

 

                                   = 1-           

 

  Hence f ’(x) = 

 

And   f “ (x) = -6

 

There are no points at which f” (x) =0, but at x= +√3 and x= -√3, f (x) is not continuous.

We can test for concavity in the intervals (-∞, -√3), (-√3, √3) and (√3, ∞) as shown in the table below.

 

Interval

-∞<x<-√3

-√3<x<√3

√3<x<∞

Test value

 X=-2

X=0

X=2

Sign of f”(x)

-ive  [f”(-2)<0]

+ive [f”(0)>0]

-ive [f”(2)<0]

Conclusion

Concave down

Concave up

Concave down

           

Hence point of inflexion are (√3,∞) and (-√3,∞)
