How do I find the critical points?

Mathematics

Critical points is where the derivative (slope) is zero or does not exist. So to do this we have to find the derivative of our function:

\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2} - 1)^{3}

So we apply chain rule:

= 3(x^{2} - 1)^{2} * 2x

Set our first derivative to zero and solve for x:

3(x^2 - 1) * 2x = 0

So we can see that (by plugging in) 0, -1 and 1 makes our solution true

So our critical value is x = 0, x = -1, x = 1
