OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Find the derivative first.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

dy/dx = 3x^2 - 4x - 4

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

then 3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0 to find the TP Is relative extrema the min and max ?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Find the second derivative and compare it to zero. If the second derivative is greater than zero, then it's a minimum. If it's less than zero than it's a maximum.
