If f(x)=x^4-14x^3+72x^2+6x-10, find the largest interval on which f(x) is concave downward. If we write the interval as (a,b). How do I start solving this problem?

OpenStudy (paounn):

What instrument do you use to determine where the concavity of a graph is oriented?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second derivative?

OpenStudy (paounn):

Exactly. How?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How?....So it would be f"(x)=12x^2-84x+144 right?
