Choose and classify anyone critical point.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I found the following critical points,

(0,0), (0,-3), (3/2,3/2) and (-3/2, 3/2)

Wolfram alpha is telling me the critical points are (0,0) and (0,3). (We don't deal with critical points that have complex numbers in them).

I can't find my error.

Can anyone see it?
