Algebra.Com's Answer #92895 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = x^3 – 3x^2 \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "Definition: x=c is a critical point of the function f(x) if \n" ); document.write( "1st f(c) exists \n" ); document.write( "AND \n" ); document.write( "f'(c)=0 OR f'(c) does not exist \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Your Problem: \n" ); document.write( "f'(x) = 3x^2-6x \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Check f'(x)=0 \n" ); document.write( "3x^2-6x = 0 \n" ); document.write( "3x(x-2)=0 \n" ); document.write( "x = 0 or x = 2 \n" ); document.write( "These are potential critical values. \n" ); document.write( "Check f(0) to see if it exists; it does \n" ); document.write( "Check f(2) to see if it exists; it does \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Conclusion: x=0 and x=2 are critical values of f(x) \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
