[SOLVED] Local Max & Min problem
I'm having a real tough time finishing this problem. I have to find the local maxima and minima points for g(x).
g(x) = 1 + 4x - 10x^2 + x^4
(dy/dx) = 4 - 20x + 4x^3
I've been trying to factor it to get the max and min points, but I find it impossible to simplify. I've tried factoring and just can't seem to find a way. And I can't use quadratic formula since it's to the 3rd degree, right?
