A "surge function" is used in a wide range of mathematical models of real- world phenomenon, such as the level of medication in the bloodstream after an initial dose of a drug. A general surge function is given by S(t) = Ate-kt, %3D where A, k are both positive constants. Find the point of inflection of S(t).
