Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to "Select all values of where the function has a critical point such that ."
To find where the derivative , we need to look at points where the slope of the tangent line to the curve is horizontal (i.e., where the graph has a local maximum, minimum, or a point of inflection with a horizontal tangent).
Looking at the graph, critical points occur where the slope is zero (i.e., flat spots on the curve):
- (local minimum)
- (local maximum)
- (local minimum)
- (local maximum)
These are the points where . So the correct values of are:
Would you like further clarification on how to identify critical points or explore other related concepts?
Here are 5 related questions to consider:
- How do you find critical points from the derivative of a function?
- What is the significance of in calculus?
- How can you determine if a critical point is a local minimum or maximum?
- What happens when does not exist at a point but is continuous?
- How does the second derivative test help classify critical points?
Tip: Critical points occur where the derivative of a function is zero or undefined, and they are essential for finding local extrema (maximums and minimums).
