Point of inflection is at
Explanation:
At points of inflection, second derivative of the function is equal to zero. Hence le us first wok out second derivative for
As
and
=
and this is zero at
As there is only one point of inflection, we have two ranges
In the range
in the range
graph{xe^x [-7.4, 2.6, -1.56, 3.44]}
