OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get for the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 2x^(-1/3)-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but that negative exponent doesn't help your cause

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{2}{\sqrt[3]{x}}-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one critical point is clearly 0, because this is undefined when \(x=0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. so theres no answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, you still have to set it equal to zero and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find the critical point, which are where the derivative is either equal to zero or undefined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so one critical point is \(x=0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the other, set \[\frac{2}{\sqrt[3]{x}}-2=0\] and solve for \(x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=\[\sqrt[3]{1}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that what I got. @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah , 1 is a critical point as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you have to check \[f(-1),f(0),f(1)\] biggest is the max, smallest is the min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do i check ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(-1) , put -1 in to the equation that given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(-1)^(2/3)-2(-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 im still stuck with this question could you give me help
