First, let’s break down the graph of \( f(x) = \ln(x + 3) - 2 \). The function is defined for \( x > -3 \) and generally increases. This logarithmic function shifts down two units due to the \(-2\), and its concavity can be assessed by the second derivative test. The function \( f \) is concave upward for its entire domain \((-3, \infty)\) and has no inflection points since it retains this concavity without changing. Now, addressing the options you've presented: A. The function \( f \) is concave upward on the subinterval(s) \((-3, \infty)\). B. The function \( f \) is never concave downward. A. The function \( f \) has no inflection point.
