Finding Critical Numbers

  • This calculus video tutorial explains how to find the critical numbers of a function. These include trig functions, absolute value functions, rational functions, fractions, square roots and more. To find the critical number, find the first derivative of the function, set it equal to zero, and solve for x. If you have a fraction as a derivative, set the numerator and denominator of the fraction equal to zero and solve. Critical numbers occur when f'(c) = 0 or when f'(c) does not exist as in the case of a cusp. This calculus video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

  • @paulzupan3732
    @paulzupan3732 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Another interesting way to solve the absolute value problem is to realize that |x| = sqrt(x^2), and finding the derivative that way. Derivative of |x| would be |x|/x, then just use the chain rule. I thought that was an interesting alternate solution.

    • @Ed95366
      @Ed95366 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't know if this comment will help now but, he discarded the 6 because he wanted to find out what the x's have to be to make the number in the parentheses become zero. If one number in one of the parentheses becomes zero then the whole equation will become zero because zero times what ever number will automatically become zero.

    • @SM-qn7sr

      You subtract both sides of the above equation i.e 0=x+1 by -1. Thus, 0-1=x+1-1. The 1s cancel each other out leaving behind: -1 = x or x=-1.
