Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the point of inflection on the curve given by the equation $ y^2 = x(x+1)^2 $, we need to find where the second derivative of the function changes sign, indicating a change in concavity.

### Explanation:

1. **Finding the First Derivative:**

The given equation is $ y^2 = x(x+1)^2 $. To find the first derivative, we implicitly differentiate both sides with respect to $ x $.

$$
   2y \frac{dy}{dx} = (x+1)^2 + x \cdot 2(x+1)
   $$

Simplifying the right side:

$$
   = (x+1)^2 + 2x(x+1) = (x+1)(x+1) + 2x(x+1) = (x+1)(x+1 + 2x) = (x+1)(3x+1)
   $$

Thus, the first derivative is:

$$
   \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(x+1)(3x+1)}{2y}
   $$

2. **Finding the Second Derivative:**

To find the second derivative, we differentiate $ \frac{dy}{dx} $ with respect to $ x $ again, using the quotient rule and chain rule as necessary.

$$
   \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{(x+1)(3x+1)}{2y}\right)
   $$

This involves differentiating the numerator and the denominator separately and applying the quotient rule. The calculations are complex, but the key is to find where this second derivative equals zero or is undefined, indicating a potential inflection point.

3. **Identifying the Point of Inflexion:**

After calculating the second derivative, we set it to zero and solve for $ x $ and $ y $. The calculations show that the point of inflection occurs at:

$$
   \left(\frac{1}{3}, \pm\frac{4}{3\sqrt{3}}\right)
   $$

This matches Option 4.

### Why Other Options are Incorrect:

- **Option 1: $(\sqrt{3}, \pm2\sqrt{3})$**

This point does not satisfy the condition for the second derivative to change sign. Calculations show that this point does not lie on the curve where the concavity changes.

- **Option 2: $(\frac{1}{3}, \pm\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}})$**

Although the $ x $-coordinate is correct, the $ y $-coordinate does not satisfy the equation $ y^2 = x(x+1)^2 $ for $ x = \frac{1}{3} $.

- **Option 3: $(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}, \pm\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$**

This point does not satisfy the original equation $ y^2 = x(x+1)^2 $ and does not correspond to a change in concavity.

In conclusion, the correct point of inflection is indeed $\left(\frac{1}{3}, \pm\frac{4}{3\sqrt{3}}\right)$, which is Option 4. This point satisfies both the original equation and the condition for a change in concavity, confirming it as the correct answer.
