Take the 2nd derivative.

Set the second derivative equal to zero and solve.

For each zero of the second derivative, check the concavity of the function on either side of the second derivative zero. Note: if the second derivative is positive, the function is concave up, if negative, the function is concave down. If the concavity on one side of the second derivative zero is the opposite of the concavity on the other side, the point is a point of inflection.
