Answer is b. (5,-1) only
Explanation:
Points of inflection are present when f"=0 or is undefined (DNE). From the first table, you can see that f" is not 0 for any values of x, but is undefined for x=5, so there can be a possible point of inflection at x=5. Then, look at the second table. Points of inflection are where concavity changes, where f" changes from one sign to another (- to +, or + to -). At x=5, the only possible point of inflection taken from the first table, f" does change from - to +, so there is a point of inflection at x=5. At x=5, f=-1, so the point is (5,-1) (aka the answer is b).
