Inflection+Points

This is the area for information about inflection points and the second derivative test. If you missed this day of class or would like a refresher, please watch the following video about inflection points in transcendental functions. (Don't be overwhelmed by the terminology. For our purposes, the only transcendentals we consider are the trigonometric functions- sine, cosine, tangent and their inverses; and exponential functions.) If you would like additional information about concavity, please check the information on the Concavity page. media type="custom" key="9457472" All videos retrieved via www.teachertube.com
