Hi, I think if you differentiate it and equal it to 0, and find x, and then sub those x values into the original equation, you will find the turning points?

#

and if the x values are <0 then it is a maximum , and if the x values>0, they are minimum points

#

not entirely sure though

#

opal swan

no worries :)

#

i think you can use the .solved command to show it isnt a problem now if you would like?
