   point on a graph where the concavity of the curve changes (from concave down to concave up, or vice versa) is called a point of inflection (Definition 4.14). By implication (think about what separates positive and negative numbers on a number line), if a point (c, f (c)) is a point of inflection, then f ′ ′ ( c ) = 0 .

   Example: y = x 3 − 6x 2 + 12x − 5. The derivative is: y' = 3x 2 − 12x + 12. The second derivative is: y'' = 6x − 12. And 6x − 12 is negative up to x = 2, positive from there onwards. So: f (x) is concave downward up to x = 2. f (x) is concave upward from x = 2 on. And the inflection point is at x = 2: Calculus Index.

   Dec 21, 2020 · Of particular interest are points at which the concavity changes from up to down or down to up; such points are called inflection points. If the concavity changes from up to down at x = a, f ″ changes from positive to the left of a to negative to the right of a, and usually f ″ (a) = 0.

   Goal: Use Mathematica to identify inflection points. f(x) is continuous at x=a. f’(x) does not change sign at x=a. f”(x) changes sign at x=a. The second derivative is also a polynomial (degree 1), hence any sign change of f”(x) would occur at a point where f”(x)=0.

   Maxima and minima are also called TURNING points or STATIONARY points. Going from left to right, the gradient is DECREASING up to the point P and then it starts INCREASING again. The point P where the gradient stops decreasing and starts increasing is called an INFLECTION point.

   What is a special inflection point?

   • Going from left to right, the gradient is DECREASING up to the point P and then it starts INCREASING again. The point P where the gradient stops decreasing and starts increasing is called an INFLECTION point. Grad increasing This is a special inflection point because the gradient is also zero. It is called a STATIONARY INFLECTION POINT.

   Why is d2y a horizontal point of inflection?

   • Since it is also a point of inflection d2y = 0 and there is a change of concavity of dx dx2 the curve at this point. A point of inflection that is also a stationary point is sometimes called dy a horizontal point of inflection as the tangent to the curve when dx = 0 is horizontal. For example, let y = x3 3x2 + 3x 1.

   For example, take the function y = x3 +x. dy dx =3x2 +1> 0 for all values of x and d2y dx2 =6x =0 for x =0. This means that there are no stationary points but there is a possible point of inflection at x =0. Since d 2y dx 2 =6x<0 for x<0, and d y dx =6x>0 for x>0 the concavity changes at x =0and so x =0is a point of inflection.
