Finding Point Of Inflection http://puu.sh/dfdGC/cc662f8bb9.png
diracdelta how long did it take for you to get this skill at maths?
Remember inflection points mean the concavity of the curve changes direction. That means the second derivative = 0 ;) find the x where that happens
@Kittens4Mittens about 3 minutes :P. No I'm just kidding, math and physics are my life, I do this for a living :)
to get the points i derive then set = to zero and then i should get 2 numbers and then i get 2nd derivative then plug those numbers in to check concavity?
damn so cool dirac
No you just need to take the second derivative of 1/(2x^2 + 6). Once you get your function for the second derivative, set it equal to zero and find the roots :)
Looks the concavity is changing two times in the interval (-4, 4). When you solve f''(x) = 0 you should get something in this interval
