i am quite aware that the (x^2-x) comes out. I have been for the last 12 hours. I am having trouble with what comes after it. But I'll go review my algebra. Thank you both for nothing.
Homework Statement
Find critical points and inflection points of:
1/[x(x-1)]
Homework Equations
1/[x(x-1)]
The Attempt at a Solution
using quotient rule, we obtain
(0-(2x-1)/(x^2-x)^2
set -2x+1=0 we get 1/2 for critical point.
for second derivative,
i get...
It was multiple choice on khan academy. for which values of x is the function a local minimum or maximum. i can't remember which. But -1/3 was the correct answer per the software (s-word again)
