@electrokid can u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Critical point are where the gradient is zero, so it is instantaneously flat at -1,0,1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so its A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No....A has only one critical point at x=0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry no again! D has only the one critical point at x=0 again. A quadratic graph has only one critical point since it only changes direction once. Infact, that's perhaps a better way to think about it: a critical point is where the curve changes direction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh okay got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its gotta be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)
