Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the function f(x) = x^4 - 4x^2, find the critical points and classify them using the second derivative test.

💡 Hint: Re-evaluate the behavior around x = 0 for further insights.

Question 2

Using f(x) = sin(x), identify all critical points in the interval [0, 2π] and classify them using the second derivative.

💡 Hint: Address the periods of the sine function to examine critical points effectively.
