<定理>若f'(a)>0,則存在一正數d使得f(x)<f(a) for all x in (a-d,a) 且f(a)<f(x) for all x in (a,a+d)。

f'''(a)>0,則存在一正數d使得f''(x)<f''(a) for all x in (a-d,a) 且f''(a)<f''(x) for all x in (a,a+d)。
f''(x)<0 for all x in (a-d,a) 且 0<f''(x) for all x in (a,a+d)
f' decreases on (a-d,a) 且 f' incrases on (a,a+d)
f 凹向下 且 f 凹向上
故點(a,f(a))為inflection point
