Find the derivative first.

mimi_x3 · Answer

Hm..im not sure.

anonymous · Answer

ohhhh. sorry, i knew that :P My brain doesn't work at 10:30 in the morning at home :P

anonymous · Answer

the answer is x = 3.

I'm weird O.o

yea you r lol

akshay_budhkar · Answer

rarely ppl ask questions n give answers as well

anonymous · Answer

like I said.

mathmate · Answer

Do you realize that the function is a constant (=1) except for two points which are undefined?

anonymous · Answer

what is the best way to find the convergence of sequences???

anonymous · Answer

Should we just go all the way and find possible points of inflection as well. =p

mathmate · Answer

The two undefined points (hole) are 3+/- sqrt(2).
There is no inflection point, and no extremum.

anonymous · Answer

nonononon, the question's over. DONE.

akshay_budhkar · Answer

LOL Done

anonymous · Answer

Bueno!

mathmate · Answer

It's not my question, so it's up to you.

anonymous · Answer

^Amen to that.

akshay_budhkar · Answer

lo lthis is funny! she doesnt want the answer people are flowing in to help her still lol

mathmate · Answer

That's because the question is not what it looks like.
All terms cancel out when x does not equal 3+/-sqrt(2), and the other points are on a horizontal line.  So there is no maximum/minimum.

anonymous · Answer

nonono. you don't understand. there aren't 2 equations being divided, they are 1 equation in 2 different ways.

mathmate · Answer

Now you tell us, thank you!

anonymous · Answer

lol xD
