H-E-L-P: locate all the critical points of f(x) -1x^2-5x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

critical points is when the derivative equals to 0 or is DNE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. i found the derivative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then I = to zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's -2x-5=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now how do i fnd the critical points from there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= 5/-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the critical point :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no it's saying it's wrong... :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i missing something? like (0,5/-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it asks for the coordinates of the point, give in (x, y) form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)
