Point of Inflection

Front

A Point of Inflection indicates a change in concavity. You find these inflections by first finding a candidate when the second derivative is equal to zero. Then check the value of the second derivative to the left and right of each candidate - if there is a change in sign from left to right, then the candidate is a point of inflection.
