okay so first find f'(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course you would need product rule to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

once you have f'(x), set it equal to 0 and solve for x to find the critical number

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

x = 4/7.... this fraction will have a vertical asymptote there...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what I have been struggling with is that finding f(x)'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the step but derivative

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

oops... function, and the function is actually a fraction \[f(x) = \frac{1}{(7x -4)^{6x}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont you use In to solve this?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so the critical point... is what makes the denominator zero... as the function does not exist or is undefined at x = 4/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=4/7 is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I'd believe so
