inflection x/(x^2-3x-4)

inflection points

\frac{x}{x ^{2} - 3 x - 4}

(0.93244 \dots, - 0.15729 \dots)

Solution steps

Find where

f^{''} (x)

is equal to zero or undefined

x \approx 0.93244 \dots, x = - 1, x = 4

Identify inflection points not in domain or where

f (x)

is not continuous

Domain of

\frac{x}{x ^{2} - 3 x - 4} : x < - 1 or - 1 < x < 4 or x > 4

f (x)

is not defined at

x = - 1, x = 4

, therefore:

x \approx 0.93244 \dots

Find intervals:

Concave Downward

: - \infty < x < - 1,

Concave Upward

: - 1 < x < 0.93244 \dots,

Concave Downward

: 0.93244 \dots < x < 4,

Concave Upward

: 4 < x < \infty

Plug

x = 0.93244 \dots

into

\frac{x}{x ^{2} - 3 x - 4} : - 0.15729 \dots

(0.93244 \dots, - 0.15729 \dots)
