How do you determine whether the function #f(x) = x/(x^2 - 5)# is concave up or concave down and its intervals?

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- What intervals is this function: #f(x)= x^5(lnx)# increasing and decreasing?
- How can I find the points on the curve y = x^4 − 10x^2 + 1 where the tangent line is horizontal?
- How do you find the inflections points for #f(x) = (1/3)x^3-x^2-8x+2#?
- Is #f(x)=cosx# concave or convex at #x=pi/2#?
- How do you locate the critical points of the function #f(x) = x^3 - 15x^2 + 4# and use the Second Derivative Test to determine whether they correspond to local maxima, local minima, or neither?
