| If the second derivative, {{math|''f{{''}}''(''x'')}} exists at {{math|''x''<sub>0</sub>}}, and {{math|''x''<sub>0</sub>}} is an inflection point for {{mvar|f}}, then {{math|''f{{''}}''(''x''<sub>0</sub>) {{=}} 0}}, but this condition is not [[Sufficient condition|sufficient]] for having a point of inflection, even if derivatives of any order exist. In this case, one also needs the lowest-order (above the second) non-zero derivative to be of odd order (third, fifth, etc.). If the lowest-order non-zero derivative is of even order, the point is not a point of inflection, but an ''undulation point''. However, in algebraic geometry, both inflection points and undulation points are usually called ''inflection points''. An example of an undulation point is {{math|''x'' {{=}} 0}} for the function {{mvar|f}} given by {{math|''f''(''x'') {{=}} ''x''<sup>4</sup>}}. | | If the second derivative, {{math|''f{{''}}''(''x'')}} exists at {{math|''x''<sub>0</sub>}}, and {{math|''x''<sub>0</sub>}} is an inflection point for {{mvar|f}}, then {{math|''f{{''}}''(''x''<sub>0</sub>) {{=}} 0}}, but this condition is not [[Sufficient condition|sufficient]] for having a point of inflection, even if derivatives of any order exist.

| Some functions change concavity without having points of inflection. Instead, they can change concavity around vertical asymptotes or discontinuities. For example, the function <math>x\mapsto \frac1x</math> is concave for negative {{mvar|x}} and convex for positive {{mvar|x}}, but it has no points of inflection because 0 is not in the domain of the function. | | Some functions change concavity without having points of inflection.
