==> .
Now find the critical points of the function by letting
==> , or or .
Now apply the first derivative test:
When , ==> f(x) is increasing over there.
When , ==> f(x) is decreasing over there.
Thus there is a local minimum at , and since it is the only critical point in an open interval (0, ), it is also an absolute minimum.
