Determine the inflection points of f(x)=x-lnx if any !!! HELP PLEASE THANK YOU

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Take the second derivative of f and set it = zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have -1/x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for my second derivative

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

It actually is 1/x^2: there is no value of x that makes the second derivative = zero. Convex (concave up) all the way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I forgot about the minus sign. What is my next step

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{2} }\] What value of x makes this expression = zero?
