Suppose that f is a differentiable function on R¹ with a period of 2.7. That is, f(x) = f(x + 2x) for all
x € R¹. Find the smallest positive integer n such that f has at least n critical points on the interval
(0, 4x).
You answer cannot be only true for specific examples. Your answer must be true for the general
situation.
