What does it mean if the scalar/dot product is greater than 0?

It means that the angle between the two vectors is acute.

How to find the point of inflection on a graph

How do you find the point of inflection on a graph?

?

The point of inflection on a graph is where the concavity changes. To find it, we need to find the second derivative of the function and set it equal to zero. Then, solve for x to get the x-coordinate of the point of inflection.
