Q. The second derivative of a function

h

is given by

h^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{e^{x}}+1

.

\newline

Where does the graph of

h

have a point of inflection?

answer:

\newline

(A)

x=-0.35

\newline

(B)

x=0

\newline

(C)

x=0.33

\newline

(D)

x=1.497

Set Second Derivative Equal: To find the point of inflection, we need to set the second derivative equal to zero and solve for $x$ . $h''(x) = \frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{e^{x}} + 1 = 0$
Use Graphing Calculator: We use a graphing calculator to find the value of $x$ where $h''(x) = 0$ .
Find $X$ -Value: After plotting the function $h''(x)$ on the graphing calculator, we look for the $x$ -value where the graph crosses the $x$ -axis.
Crosses X-Axis: The graph crosses the x-axis near $x = 1.497$ , which corresponds to answer choice (D).
