Example: Let f(x)=x^2-1/x^2+1

The first derivative is shown in the image below.

 

Now, determine the second derivative of the function.
f"(X) =
Determine the sign of the second derivative function as x varies.
Where is f' positive?
Where is f'negative?
Where is f' equal to zero?
What do these qualities of the second derivative tell you about the function?
