Let F(x)=0xf(t)dtF(x) = \int_0^x f(t)\,dt where ff is shown (linear V-shape with ff first decreasing then increasing). FF has an inflection point where:

  • A

    ff is at a maximum

  • B

    f=0f = 0

  • C

    F=0F = 0

  • D

    ff has its minimum (kink)

Explanation

Inflection points of FF occur where F=fF'' = f' changes sign, i.e., where the slope of ff changes (the kink of the V).
