Do you know how to find critical values?

#

yeah, isn't that just finding the derivative and then setting it equal to 0. Solve for x

#

Yeah so those values of x are usually either maxima or minima depending on how the sign of the derivative changes

#

right yea. uh i lost my work so ima re do it

#

but when I did it earlier I had a weird number to work with i belive

#

a fraction minus anohter fraction

#

i didn;t know how to tackle it, but with other question i was getting like 2(3x+4) and that I just do 3x+4=0 so those were easier

#

oh wait
