Concept explainers
To identify the hidden behaviour of the function
The behaviour of the function around
Given the function:
Concept Used:
The critical point of the function
Now, when the derivative is zero, the function will have the zero slope there. In this case, the graph of the function will be parallel to the
Graph the function
window and analyse the graph for the hidden behaviour:
The function
It seems like the function has a critical point somewhere around at
But, it is not clear.
Thus, the behaviour of the function
Graph the function
The dimensions of the viewing window is set to be
It is clear that the function has a critical point at
Hence, the hidden behaviour is understood.
Conclusion:
The behaviour of the function around
