Well i know that an inflection point is where the curve changes its concavity.
But i don't really understand the conditions for it.
It says that second derivative should be zero(but that's not sufficient). I understand this. Second derivative being zero is not sufficient, example is y =x^4. So further condition is that some of the following odd derivatives should be zero which i don't understand
What's with the odd derivative? I don't get the intuition
