Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 4, find the point where f is not differentiable.
  • Step 1: Identify the function given, which is f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 4.
  • Step 2: Recognize that f(x) is a polynomial function.
  • Step 3: Understand that polynomial functions are differentiable everywhere on their domain.
  • Step 4: Calculate the derivative of the function, f'(x).
  • Step 5: Set the derivative equal to zero to find critical points: f'(x) = 0.
  • Step 6: Solve for x to find where the derivative is zero, which indicates critical points.
  • Step 7: Conclude that since f(x) is a polynomial, it is differentiable everywhere, and there are no points where it is not differentiable.
