Determine whether a function is convex or concave using the second-order derivative Calculus

Are the following functions convex or concave?

f:x\longmapsto 2x^2-4x+5

f:x\longmapsto x^{3}+6x^{2}-7x-2

f:x\longmapsto x^{2}e^{x}

f:x\longmapsto x\ln\left(x\right), x\in\left(0,\infty\right)

f:x\longmapsto \dfrac{x-1}{x+1}, x\in\left(-\infty,-1\right)\cup\left(-1,\infty\right)

f:x\longmapsto x^{4}-3x^{2}+7

f:x\longmapsto x^{2}\sqrt{x}, x\in\left[0,\infty\right)
