0 or oo, it does not necessarily changesign upon passing through these values. Thus,let M N be a curve whose equation is y ^=f{x).Now, as X passes from the value A D to thatof AD, ?/passes through 0, hut does not changeits sign. In like manner by referring to Fig. 109,it will be seen that in the… … d^p dy may have the property sought. Now for xy> a, ^ is +: and for o! << a, ^ dx;^ dx- is —. Therefore there is a point of inflexion at x=^a. For x = a, y ^^h ; hence the point of inflexion is (a, 6). Ex. 2. Examine the following for points of inflexion : a^y=,xi — cjc^ :y = x-\-SGx^ —…
