Inflection Point

An inflection point is a point on a curve at which the concavity changes.

Inflection point is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a Calculus I course. It is an Advanced Placement Calculus AB topic and is listed in the California State Standards for Calculus.

Prerequisites

Derivative:

A derivative is the infinitesimal rate of change in a function with respect to one of its parameters.
