Detailed Solution

f(x)=x6/7 or  f′′(x)=67137x87

Here, f"(x)  does not change sign. Hence, it has no point of inflection.

For f(x)=x6f(x)=30x4f''(x)=120x3 , but   f"(x) does not change sign in the neighborhood of x=0

f(x)=cosx+2x f'(x)=-sinx+2 f′′(x)=cosx  or

f′′(0)=0  for  x=(2n+1)π/2,nZ

Also , sign of f"(x)  changes sign in the neighborhood of x=(2n+1)π/2 . Hence, function has infinite points of inflection. 

f(x)=x|x|={x2,x<0x2,x0f′′(x)={2,x<02,x>0

Here, f"(x)  changes sign in the neighborhood of x=0 . Hence has point of inflection.
