How do you find points of inflection and determine the intervals of concavity given #y=1/(x-3)#?
2 Answers
The intervals of concavity is
The intervals of convexity is
Explanation:
We calculate the second derivative
There is no point of inflexion
We construct a chart
We do not have a point of inflection. The function is concave in the interval
Explanation:
Points of inflection appear at points where
Here
Therefore
and as
hence we do not have a point of inflection.
A function is concave if
Here, function is concave in the interval
graph{1/(x-3) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
