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:
So we apply chain rule:
=
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
So we apply chain rule:
=

Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)
=========================================
How I got this answer:
Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.
-------------
checking choice A
plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)
This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.
-------------
checking choice B
plug in (x,y) = (2,4)
This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice C
plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)
This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice D
plug in (x,y) = (3,4)
This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
