About Inflection Point Calculator

An inflection point is a point on a curve at which the concavity changes. To find inflection points of a polynomial function, we need to calculate the second derivative of the function and set it to zero. Solving this equation gives us the x-coordinates of the inflection points. We then substitute these x-values back into the original polynomial to find the corresponding y-coordinates. This tool simplifies this process, providing both the inflection points and a visual representation on a graph. Use this calculator to quickly verify your calculus homework or explore polynomial functions!
