38 A level Mathematics Calculus Series Video 21

This video demonstrates how to find and determine the nature of stationary points for a given function using calculus. We begin by finding the first derivative of f(x) = x³ - 3x and solving f'(x) = 0 to locate the x-coordinates of the stationary points. Next, we calculate the corresponding y-coordinates for these points. Finally, we find the second derivative, f''(x), and evaluate it at each stationary point's x-coordinate to classify them as minimum or maximum points.
