For point of inflection
f
′′
(
x
)
=
0
⇒
6

(
x

(
x

(
x

)
(

6
x
(
x
2
+
3
)
(
x
−
1
)
(
x
−
3
)
=
0
⇒
x
=

,
1
,

so, points of inflection are
x
=
0
,
1
,

for concave upward
f
′′
(
x
)
>
0
⇒
6
x

(
x
−

(
x

(
x

⇒

x
(
x

3
)
(
x
−

)
(
x
−
3
)
>
0
⇒
x
∈
(
0
,
1
)
∪
(
3
,
∞
)
For concave downward
f
′′
(
x
)
<
0
⇒
6
x
(
x

)
(
x
−

(
x
−

)
(
x

)
4
<
0
⇒
6
x
(
x
2

3
)
(
x
−
1
)
(
x

)
<
0
⇒
x
