Question
![**Text and Graph Description:**
The image features a mathematical exercise titled, "Mark the critical points on the following graph." The function given is:
\[ x^3 e^{-\frac{x}{5}}, 2 \]
Below this is a graph illustrating the curve of the mentioned function. The graph features an x-axis ranging from -5 to 5 and a y-axis ranging from -10 to 10.
**Graph Details:**
- The curve begins in the fourth quadrant, rises through the origin, peaks in the first quadrant, and then descends slightly.
- The grid in the background indicates the function's behavior with evident peaks and troughs.
- There is an option at the bottom of the graph interface with buttons labeled "Clear All," "Draw," and "Dot."
- At the bottom of the image, there is a blue button labeled "Submit Question."
This exercise requires users to identify and mark the critical points along the given curve, where the slope of the tangent is zero or undefined, allowing for an understanding of maxima, minima, and inflection points.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbf32ca19-f396-4c66-88b1-2ce5311e0ec6%2F3aa6129d-ce5a-4ad4-b7cd-552d70bd850f%2Fmfrvm2r_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
