Answer:

Explanation:

first you need to figure out what your solving for We will set the first derivative of the function to zero and solve for x to get the critical point. If we take the second derivative or f''(x), then we can find out whether this point will be a maximum or minimum. If the second derivative is positive, it will be a minimum value.
