critical (x^4-3x^2)/((x^2-1)^2)

critical points

\frac{x ^{4} - 3 x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}}

x = 0

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{4} - 3 x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}}

Find where

f^{'} (x)

is equal to zero or undefined

x = 0, x = - 1, x = 1

Identify critical points not in

f (x)

domain

Domain of

\frac{x ^{4} - 3 x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}} : x < - 1 or - 1 < x < 1 or x > 1

\frac{x ^{4} - 3 x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}}

is not defined at

x = - 1, x = 1

, therefore:

x = 0
