š(š„)=š„3+š„ Finding š^ā² (š) šā²(š„)= 3š„^2+1 Putting šā²(š)= 0 to find critical points 3š„^2+1 = 0 3š„^2=ā1 š^š = (āš)/š x = ±ā((ā1)/3) x = ±ā(š/š) š So, x is an imaginary number But, given that x is a real number as š:āāā Therefore, there is no value of x āš , when šā²(š)= 0 Thus, f(x) does not have any critical points
