Answer by Kay K. for Does tangent line of inflection point always passes...

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...

Does tangent line of inflection point always passes through the curve?

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 $x = 0$,...
