Question 845071: Use your graphing calculator to approximate the point at which the function f(x) = 5x^4 - x + 3 has a local minimum value. Give both coordinates rounded to two decimal places. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is more of a question for you to try on *your* own graphing calculator (or Wolfram Alpha/Mathematica, or some other graphing software -- I'm not going to plot the function for you). Note that , and it can be shown that a local minimum occurs at . If you graph f(x) on your calculator you should see the same result.
