For a point of inflection of y= f(X) which one of the following is correct ?

A

`(dy)/(dx)` must be zero

B

`(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))` must not be zero

C

`(dy)/(dx)` must be non zero

D

`(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))` must be zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Let y=f(x)
now for a point of inflectioin of y =f(x)
`(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))` must be zero
