Explanation:
The critical points of a function is where the function's derivative is zero or undefined.
We begin by finding the derivative. We can do this using the power rule:
The function is defined for all real numbers, so we won't find any critical points that way, but we can solve for the zeroes of the function:
Using the zero factor principle, we see that
