𝑓(𝑥)=𝑥3+𝑥 Finding 𝒇^′ (𝒙) 𝑓′(𝑥)= 3𝑥^2+1 Putting 𝒇′(𝒙)= 0 to find critical points 3𝑥^2+1 = 0 3𝑥^2=−1 𝒙^𝟐 = (−𝟏)/𝟑 x = ±√((−1)/3) x = ±√(𝟏/𝟑) 𝒊 So, x is an imaginary number But, given that x is a real number as 𝑓:ℝ→ℝ Therefore, there is no value of x ∈𝑅, when 𝒇′(𝒙)= 0 Thus, f(x) does not have any critical points
