Find the interval on which the curve is concave upward.

|dw:1455935388486:dw|

first derivative is \[\frac{1}{6+x+3x^2}\] find the second derivative, see where it is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F''(x)=\frac{-(1+6x)}{(6+x+3x^2)^2}\] the denominator is always positive, solve \[-1-6x>0\] for \(x\)

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

-6x > 1 x < -1/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah looks good

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

what would that interval be? (-infinity, -1/6] ?
