Stationary Points - IB Mathematics Resources
www.radfordmathematics.com › calculusMethod: finding stationary points. Given a function f ( x) and its curve y = f ( x), to find any stationary point (s) we follow three steps : Step 1: find f ′ ( x) Step 2: solve the equation f ′ ( x) = 0, this will give us the x -coordinate (s) of any stationary point (s) . Step 3 (if needed/asked): calculate the y -coordinate (s) of the ...
