hey mr. hickman! we have a question for you! if we dont particularly use point of inflection when we are graphing so do we have to include it in our write up???

Matt Hickman said...

Yep. Points of inflection occur on f(x) whenever f'(x) has a critical point & when f''(x) has an x intercept (i.e. when f''(x)=0). (Points of inflection occur on f'(x) when f''(x) has a critical point.)
