True or false, help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If f '(c) = 0, then f has a local maximum or minimum at x = c- true or false I feel like this is partially true, except I think it could also be an inflection point, so it's not totally true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So inflection point is out of the question? Do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to explain it :/

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

If it's not totally true then you know it must be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's not totally true it must be false you mean?

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

At a inflection point the function is changing concavity. Will f'(c)=0 at that point? It certainly could right?

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

but if f is increasing at an increasing rate on (a,b) then an inflection point wouldn't be subjective to the situation, you know?

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

Yes so false, given the the information you have given.

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

If that is all the problem asks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO the inflection point could be possible. Okay. Thank you! That's all thanks!
