Determine the Concavity of the graph of f(x) = x4 - 4x3. Locate the points of inflection and use them as test intervals; f '(x) = 4x3 - 12x2; f ''(x) = 12x2 - 24x; 12x(x - 2) = 0;

Notice in the example above, that the concavity of the graph of $f$ changes sign at $x = 1$. Points on the graph of $f$ where the concavity changes from up-to-down or down-to-up are called inflection points of the graph.

Inflection points are where the function changes concavity. Since concave up corresponds to a positive second derivative and concave down corresponds to a negative second derivative, then when the function changes from concave up to concave down (or vise versa) the second derivative must equal zero at that point.

If the graph of a function is linear on some interval in its domain, its second derivative will be zero, and it is said to have no concavity on that interval. ... Example 2: Determine the concavity of f(x) = sin x + cos x on [0,2π] and identify any points of inflection of f(x).
