Extreme Points of :
If ' to the left of and ' to the right of then is a local .
If ' to the left of and ' to the right of then is a local .

find '

..........

Apply the Quotient Rule: '=('-('))/

'
'
'
'

'

will be only if numerator equal to zero, so

=>or

then
-> point is (,)
-> point is (,)


so we have:
Maximum: at (,)
Minimum: at (,)
