While we can all visualize the minimum and maximum values of a function we want to be a little more specific in our work here. Here in fact is the graph of fx solutions to f x 0 indicate a point of inflection at those solutions, not a maximum or minimum. In a smoothly changing function a maximum or minimum is always where the function flattens out except for a saddle point. It is negative before the minimum, zero at the minimum, and positive after the minimum.
