Find the second derivative, (f”(x))
Determine where (f”(x) > 0)
The graph is concave up on intervals where (f”(x) > 0)
Determine where (f”(x) < 0)
The graph is concave down on intervals where (f”(x) < 0)
Find where (f”(x) = 0) or is undefined
Check for sign changes of (f”(x)) at those points
Points where (f”(x)) changes sign are inflection points
State the intervals of concavity using interval notation
