f(x)=x^2 -1 / x^3 At what opints, if any, does the function assume local extrem values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

differentiate the function and put it equal to zero solve for x u'll find some value it'll be extrem value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you mean ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I differentiate before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know about differentiation???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I get X value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these values are extreme values!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x value x=sqrt(3) and x= - sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want local extrem values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how I can get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the values you found ,check for local extrem values by this local maximum at c if and only if f(x) f(c) for all x in some open interval containing c. local minimum at c if and only if f(c) f(x) for all x in some open interval containing c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)<f(c) f(x)>f(c)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what mean f(c)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is the value what you got
