Find all intervals on which the graph of f(x)=(x-1)/(x+3) is concave upward

To find concavity we need to find the second derivative.
Use quotient rule to find f'(x)=4/(x+3)^2
Then use chain rule to find f''(x)=-8/(x+3)^3
To find potential inflection points, we need to find all x values where the second derivative is equal to 0 or is undefined.

Set the numerator and denominator equal to 0 and solve.

(x+3)^3=0
x+3=0
x= -3

Now plug a value less than -3 and greater than -3 into the second derivative to find where the concavity is upward (positive number).

Since f''(-4) is positive, that means that f(x) is concave up on the interval (-infinity, -3).

What happens when a rational number is added to an irrational number
Whitepunk [10]

The answer to your question is,

Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.
