Find Extreme Points

Find critical points first, then use the second-derivative test or another local test to classify them.

Formula: Critical points satisfy f′(x)=0 or f′ undefined; classify with f″ when applicable

Use parentheses carefully when entering nested expressions, fractions, powers, and trigonometric functions. The intended grouping must match the mathematical notation.

A good verification is to choose a simple function whose derivative or integral is already known and compare the result.
