how do you find turning point of f(X)=x^3 -3x^2 + 2 and the coordinates of inflection?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the turning point and inflection?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u r just given an equation and are asked this...0_o idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to know what those terms mean, it will help a lot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know what they mean just dont know how to calc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you know it is a parabola. so if you find the vertex that should help

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

its not a parabola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh its cubed, my bad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im here to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a point of is inflection is a change in sign in the first derivative. point of inflection occur when the second derivative = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

turning point would be when the first derivative equals zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make sense?
