there is a total of eight points of inflection on
[−π, π]. An alternate solution is to enter
y^2 =
d^2
dx^2
(y 1 (x),x, 2). The graph ofy 2 crosses
thex-axis eight times, thus eight zeros on
[−π, π].

- See the figure below.
The graph ofgindicates that a relative
maximum occurs atx=2;gis not
differentiable atx=6, since there is acuspat
x=6, andgdoes not have a point of
inflection atx=−2, since there is no tangent
line atx=−2. Thus, only statement I is true.
