Double derivative concavity question
I am working on a practice problem where I am asked to identify concavity through the use of double derivatives.
The equation: f(x)=2x^4−8x+1
After working the problem out, the double derivative is positive across the entire equation, except for a point at zero where f''(0) = 0.
How should the concavity be described (and if you would explain why the correct one is correct that would be great).
(-∞, ∞)
or
(-∞, 0)∪(0, ∞)
