In mathematics, particularly in calculus, a stationary point is an input to a function where the derivative is zero (equivalently, the slope is zero): where the function "stops" increasing or decreasing (hence the name).

What is the maximum number of relative extreme contained in the graph of this function xxx plus X?

To find the maximum number of relative extrema of the function ( f(x) = x^3 + x ), we first compute its derivative: ( f'(x) = 3x^2 + 1 ). Since ( f'(x) ) is always positive (as ( 3x^2 + 1 > 0 ) for all ( x )), the function is strictly increasing and does not have any relative extrema. Therefore, the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function is zero.

How many extrema can a 8th polynomial have?

An 8th degree polynomial can have up to 7 extrema (local maxima and minima). This is because the number of extrema is limited by the degree of the polynomial minus one, which in this case is (8 - 1 = 7). However, the actual number of extrema can be fewer depending on the specific polynomial and its critical points.
