Question:medium

The point of inflexion for the curve \(y = (x - a)^n\), where \(n\) is an odd integer and \(n \ge 3\) is:

Show Hint

Think of this like a shifted version of the classic cubic curve \(y = x^3\), which has its inflection point at the origin \((0,0)\). Replacing \(x\) with \((x - a)\) simply shifts the entire graph horizontally to the right by \(a\) units, moving the inflection point from \((0,0)\) directly to \((a,0)\).
