we know that

Points of inflection can occur where the second derivative is zero

we have

f(x)=(x-2)/(x-5)

Find the First derivative

f'(x)=1/(x-5)+(x-2)(-1)(x-5)^-2

f'(x)=1/(x-5)-(x-2)/(x-5)^2

Find the second derivative

f''(x)=(-1)(x-5)^-2-1/(x-5)^2-(2)(x-2)(x-5)^-3

f''(x)=-1/(x-5)^2-1/(x-5)^2-2(x-2)/(x-5)^3

f''(x)=-2/(x-5)^2-2(x-2)/(x-5)^3

equate the second derivative to zero

0=-2/(x-5)^2-2(x-2)/(x-5)^3

2/(x-5)^2=-2(x-2)/(x-5)^3

Multiply both sides by (x-5)^3

2(x-5)=-2(x-2)

solve for
