Find point of inflection for f(x) = p sqrt(x) – ln x

for the equation f(x) = p √(x) – ln x , x>0 p is positive

for the certain value of k, the graph f has a point of inflection on the xaxis. what is the value of k?

---------------------------
ok, so far I found the second derivative and I set it equal to zero, so I got

f''(x) =[ -p / 4√(x^3) ] + [ 1/(x^2)]

but how do I find the point of inflection?

Find the roots of f"(x) - then find f(x) = y for those value/s of 'x'.
