Points of inflection on curves are where the curvature changes sign, such as when the second deriviative changes sign

Differential calculus is concerned with finding the slope of a curve at different points. Integral calculus is concerned with finding the area under a curve.
Some people find calculus easier, others find physics easier. There is no general answer.
In Calculus, to find the maximum and minimum value, you first take the derivative of the function then find the zeroes or the roots of it. Once you have the roots, you can just simply plug in the x value to the original function where y is the maximum or minimum value. To know if its a maximum or minimum value, simply do your number line to check. the x and y are now your max/min points/ coordinates.
That is not an easy question to answer. Many people find math hard in general and certainly some people find calculus hard to understand.Multivariable calculus is not really harder than single variable calculus. It is lots of fun since you learn about double and triple integrals, partial derivatives and lots more.I strongly suggest it for anyone who is thinking about taking it.
Dimension is = the number of variables used in the equation
To find the inflection points on a graph, you need to take the second derivative. Then, set that equal to zero to find the x value(s) of the inflection point(s).
I don't think such a term is used in calculus. Check the spelling. Perhaps you mean point of inflection?
Among other things, typically you will look for:* Maxima and minima. * Inflection points (also found with calculus). * Regions where the graph goes upwards, and regions where it goes downwards. All of these can be found using calculus.
If you are doing the Chicago Tribune crossword I think the answer is inflection point. Hope this helps!
No, since the equation could be y = x3 (or something similar) which will have a point of inflection at (0,0), meaning there is no relative maximum/minimum, as the graph doesn't double back on itself For those that are unfamiliar with a point of inflection <http://mathsfirst.massey.ac.nz/Calculus/SignsOfDer/images/Introduction/POIinc.png>
It is the same as it is in calculus: Its the point on a curve where the rate of the rate of change of the curve flips.

A polynomial function have a polynomial graph. ... That's not very helpful is it, but the most common formal definition of a function is that it is its graph. So, I can only describe it. A polynomial graph consists of "bumps", formally called local maxima and minima, and "inflection points", where concavity changes. What's more? They numbers and shape varies a lot for different polynomials. Usually, the poly with higher power will have more "bumps" and inflection points, but it is not a absolute trend. The best way to analyze the graph of a polynomial is through Calculus.
