Answer 3

So you want to take the derivative and then find when the derivative is equal to zero. Those values will be your critical points. Then to find you extreme and critical values you want to plug those values back into the original eqn.

Answer 4

Ok, I did that, but I got that the derivative doesn't exist at 2\[\pm\]\[(2\sqrt{3})/\]

Answer 5

2 plus or minus (2sqrt3)/3

Answer 6

But the solution says that it is only the POSITIVE one, and idk why

Answer 7

There is no domain given, so it can't be because it falls outside of the functions domain. I assumed that I did something wrong
