Finding Critical Points of a Polynomial Function

Hard Passport To Advanced Math Non-linear Expressions

Consider the function defined by the equation: $$f(x) = 2x^3 - 6x^2 + 4.$$

To find the critical points of the function, you should first determine its derivative and set it equal to zero. The critical points are the values of $x$ where the function's slope is zero or undefined. What are the critical points of the function?
