what part of the graph of f'(x) determines the inflection points of f(x)???
|dw:1440028143297:dw|
To find the inflection point you find the 2nd derivative of f(x) and then find x ( f''(x)=0 )
okay so the x intercepts of f'(x) are the inflection points on f(x) right?
The extrema of f ' (x) have the same x coordinates of the roots of f '' (x), which is also where the inflection points on f(x) have the same x coordinates
`okay so the x intercepts of f'(x) are the inflection points on f(x) right?` incorrect
okay i think i understand , where the tangent is zero on the graph of f'(x) is where f(s) has an inflection point
sorta, it has to be an extrema
the tangent slopes have to change from positive to negative, or vice versa
what do you mean by extrema ?
let's say we had this f ' (x) graph |dw:1440028912113:dw|
