Find a function that isn't a polynomial function or a rational function, that has a non-horizontal point of inflexion at (8, 13). That is, you must find a function that has non-zero gradient at that point but the second derivative zero there and the second derivative changes sign at the point. Remembering that your function can't be a polynomial or a rational function.
