A curve is given by

y=x3−6x2+12x−6
  1. Find the coordinates of the stationary point of the curve.

  2. Find the coordinates of the point of inflection of the curve.

  3. A student believes that

    For any curve, if dydx=0 at some point, then the curve has a turning point at that point.

    Explain, by drawing an appropriate diagram, why

    y=x3−6x2+12x−6

    is a counterexample to this claim.
