A curve is defined parametrically by x(t)=tx(t)=t and y(t)=t4−6t2y(t)=t^{4}-6t^{2} for −3≤t≤3-3\le t\le 3. For which value(s) of tt does the curve have a point of inflection? a) t=0,  ±3t=0,\;\pm\sqrt{3} b) t=−1  and  t=1t=-1\;\text{and}\;t=1 c) There are no points of inflection on the curve in the given interval d) t=1t=1 only
