Question

the point where the graph of a function changes from concave up to concave down or vice versa is called what kind of point?
option #1: critical point
option #2: inflection point
option #3: turning point
(1 point)
the best answer to the question is option #
check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

• A critical point is where the derivative of a function is zero or undefined.
• An inflection point is where the concavity of a function changes (from concave up to concave down or vice - versa).
• A turning point is a point where the function changes from increasing to decreasing or vice - versa (related to local maxima and minima, which is about the first - derivative behavior).

Answer:

Option #2: inflection point
