critical f(x)= 2/(x(x+1))

critical points

f (x) = \frac{2}{x ( x + 1 )}

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

\frac{2}{x ( x + 1 )}

Find where

f^{'} (x)

is equal to zero or undefined

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = - 1, x = 0

Identify critical points not in

f (x)

domain

Domain of

\frac{2}{x ( x + 1 )} : x < - 1 or - 1 < x < 0 or x > 0

\frac{2}{x ( x + 1 )}

is not defined at

x = - 1, x = 0

, therefore:

x = - \frac{1}{2}
