- Analyzing critical points Find the critical points of the following functions.Use the Second Derivative Test to determine (if possible) whether each critical point corresponds to a local maximum, a local minimum,or a saddle point. If the Second Derivative Test is inconclusive,determine the behavior of the function at the critical points.arrow_forwardIdentifying homogenous or non homogenous functions.
