Find the nature of the stationery points of the curve xy+ 64x^2+1=0 and the coordinates of these points
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your curve is

y = -,  or, which is the same, y = .

First derivative is

 =  + 


The first derivative has a zero at

 = 64,   or   x = +/-.

There are two stationery points. One is (,). The other is (,).




           Plot y = 

The function is an odd function and has two branches.
The branch in the second quarter is convex downward.
The branch in the fourth quarter is convex upward.
