Answer by Narasimham for Does tangent line of inflection point always passes...
A tangent line always passes through the curve at a double or tangent point. The tangent line of inflection point always passes through the curve always, the but the center of curvature changes side...

Another way to show this isLet $l(x)$ to be the tangent line of $f(x)$ at $x=a$.Case-$1$: $f''(x<a)<0<f''(x>a)$,$$f'(x<a) < f'(a) < f'(x>a)$$$$x<a:\quad...

Yes. Some people define inflection point as a point where the tangent line crosses the curve. But most people define it as a point where the curve changes curvature.If you think about the tangent line...

I saw many functions on my book and all of the tangent line of inflection point always pass through the curve, Here are examples :Example 1 :$$f(x) = x^3 \quad (x=0)$$Tangent line at $x = 0$,...
