Find the Critical Point(s) of the Function

question 130

Multiple Choice

Find the critical point(s) of the function. Then use the second derivative test to classify the nature of each point, if possible. Finally, determine the relative extrema of the function.

• A) (0, 0); saddle point: f(0, 0) = - 5
• B) (1, 0); relative maximum value: f(1, 0) = 5
• C) (0, - 1); relative minimum value: f(0, - 1) = - 6
• D) there are no critical points

Confidence Interval

A range of values, calculated from the sample data, that is likely to include the true population parameter with a specified level of confidence.

Confidence Interval

An estimate expressed as a range that likely contains a population parameter, characterized by a lower and upper bound computed from sample data.

Two Population Means

A statistical comparison between the mean values of two distinct groups or populations.
