why dont you find the first derivative of the function?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x.x^3 - x^2-1.3x^2 / (x^3)^2
random231 (random231):
uh oh !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this derivative of f(x)=x^2 -1 / x^3
random231 (random231):
pls simplify , i cant understand it!!!

you need parenthesis around (x^2 - 1)
random231 (random231):
exacty sir ranga!
random231 (random231):
okay so now make this first derivative equals to 0, and find out the possible values of x.

first hwo to simplify this function ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how*
OpenStudy (ranga):
numerator is: 2x.x^3 - (x^2 - 1)3x^2 (It is 3x^2 and NOT 3x^3)
2x^4 - 3x^4 + 3x^2
-x^4 + 3x^2
x^2(-x^2 + 3)
To find critical point, equate dy/dx to zero and solve for x.
Equate numerator to zero and solve for x.

I don't understand .. can you draw ?
