Find intervals of concavity for a function involving square root of x.

Question: Determine where the function is concave upward and where it is concave downward.
Determine where the function is concave upward and where it is concave downward. (Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Enter your answer using interval notation. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)f(x) = 10x2 + 5x1/2 + 14

Concave upward:
