Question
In Exercises $11-16,$ find any critical numbers of the function.$$g(x)=x^{4}-4 x^{2}$$
Step 1
The derivative of a function can be found using the power rule, which states that the derivative of $x^n$ is $n*x^{n-1}$. So, the derivative of $g(x)$ is: $$ g'(x) = 4x^{4-1} - 4*2x^{2-1} = 4x^3 - 8x $$ Show more…
