![### Calculus: Finding Critical Numbers
In this exercise, we will determine the critical numbers of given functions. The critical numbers of a function \( f(x) \) are the values of \( x \) where the first derivative \( f'(x) \) is either zero or undefined.
#### Problem Statement
**(3) Find the critical numbers \( x \).**
**a)**
\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^3 - \frac{1}{2}x^2 - 2x + 3 \]
**b)**
\[ f(x) = x(3 - x)^{1/3} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F99284a24-5b6d-4c49-8bfd-674d8761bb54%2F4130636f-f203-4f3b-836f-e3753d5588d7%2Fpihkvjn_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
