A necessary condition for to be an inflection point is f”(x)=0. A sufficient condition requires f”(x+e) and f”(x – e) to have opposite signs in the neighbourhood of x.
here, obviously f”(x)=0 at A, C and E.
however, the sign of f”(x) in any neighbourhood however small around the point C is positive and doesnt change.
so, number of points of inflection for y=f(x) is 2 (A and E).
kindly approve :)
