What are inflection points?
An inflection point is where the curve of the graph goes from concave down to up or vice versa.
Point of inflection occur at f''=0
Relationship of stationary point and critical point.
We say x0 is a stationary point of a function if f(x) and f'(x) exist and is equal to f'(x0)=0.
And, x0 is a critical point of a function of f(x) if f(x0) exists and either f'(x0) does not exist (i.e. function is not differentiable at or f'(x0)=0.
All stationary points are critical points but not all critical points are stationary points.
What are the critical points?
Point x0 is a critical point of a function of f(x) if f(x0) exists and either f'(x0) does not exist (i.e. function is not differentiable at x0) or f'(x0)=0.
f(θ)=sinθcos2θcotθθ+1 Domain:[0,2π]
The first derivative test is a method of analyzing functions using their first derivatives in order to find their extremum point.
We take the derivative of the function,
f(θ)=ddθ(sinθcos2θcotθθ+1)
=ddθ(sinθcos2θ)ddθ(cotθθ)+ddθ(1)
=cos3θθcosec2θcotθθ2sin2θsinθ
Now,we substitute θ=4,
f(θ)=0.27927(0.49047)(0.74875)
=0.959951
0.9600
