单词 turning point
释义
turning point

Mathematics
  • A point on the graph y = f(x) at which f′(x) = 0 and f′(x) changes sign. A turning point is either a local maximum or a local minimum. Some authors use ‘turning point’ as equivalent to stationary point.


Chemical Engineering
  • A point on a graph at which the gradient of a tangent of a mathematical function changes sign. Where a gradient changes from a positive to a negative, the point represents a maximum point; where a gradient changes from a negative to a positive, the point represents a minimum. Turning points are also known as stationary points. Where the mathematical function y=f(x) is known, the turning point can be obtained from the first derivative:

    dydx=0

    A maximum or minimum can be identified from the sign of its second derivative.
