y= x^4-6x^3+12x^2-8x+1. find the maxima,minima and pt of infliction ... help

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

what dis you get as the 1st and 2nd derivatives..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sir ... how do i find my x?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

do you know how to differentiate...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really... plz help me?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

this is a complex question... so its a bit hard to answer. I think you need to work on differentiating... before attempting a question like this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess .. i need to work hard 4 it :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh it will help me a lot ... thanks @campbell_st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The maxima, minima and point of inflexion will occur at the point where dy/dx = 0 we will need to find dy/dx, do you want to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol [:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want to find dy/dx, that is the next step @patbigFat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...
