Answer:
Here is your answer dear
Step-by-step explanation:
Definition
A number a in the domain of a given function f is called a critical number of f if f '(a) = 0 or f ' is undefined at x = a.
Example 1
Find the critical number(s) of the polynomial function f given by
f(x) = x 3 - 3x + 5
Solution to Example 1
The domain of f is the set of all real numbers. The first derivative f ' is given by
f '(x) = 3 x 2 - 3
f '(x) is defined for all real numbers. Let us now solve f '(x) = 0
3 x 2 - 3 = 0
x = 1 or x = -1
Since x = 1 and x = -1 are in the domain of f they are both critical numbers.
