Problem

The curve defined for −2≤t≤2-2\le t\le 2 by x=t3−tx=t^{3}-t and y=t5−5ty=t^{5}-5t has several candidate values of tt where d2ydx2=0\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=0. Identify each value of tt in this interval at which the curve actually possesses an inflection point and give the corresponding coordinates.
