Answer

General shape:

Work Step by Step

Step 2 $y'=\displaystyle \sec^{2}x,\quad -\frac{\pi}{2} \lt x \lt \frac{\pi}{2}$ $y''=2\sec x\cdot(\sec x\cdot\tan x)=2\sec^{2}x\cdot\tan x$ Step 3 $y'\geq 0$ for all $ x\displaystyle \in(-\frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{\pi}{2}) \qquad$... $f$ never decreases. Step 4 $\left[\begin{array}{cccccc} y': & & ( & ++ & )\\ & & -\pi/2 & & \pi/2\\ y: & & & \nearrow & \end{array}\right]$ Step 5 For concavity, $y''=0$ for $x=0,\ $ $\left[\begin{array}{ccccccc} y'': & & ( & -- & |& ++ & )\\ & & -\pi/2 & & 0 & \pi/2 & \\ y: & & & \cap & i.p. & \cup & \end{array}\right]$
