Theory and Examples

Linearizations at inflection points Show that if the graph of a twice-differentiable function ƒ(x) has an inflection point at x = a, then the linearization of ƒ at x = a, is also the quadratic approximation of ƒ at x = a.This explains why tangent lines fit so well at inflection points.
