Hmm, really!??

Here's a slightly different approach:

Unfortunately the more direct and logical

does not work in Mathcad - muPad is not capable to find the solutions.

Hi,

 

Set a function that is the derivative of f(x).

Use the root function on this derivative within a range to determine unique roots.

 

You now have enough info to plot the points.

Many thanks both of you, Valery.Smiley HappySmiley HappySmiley Happy And I still have a query : "How to prove what point is local min-point ?

Some basic calculus (see Werner's application):

  • First derivatives of a function are zero at inflection points (maxima/minima),
  • The sign of the second derivative at the inflection point indicates minima (second derivative positive) or maxima (second derivative negative.)

In case of this function Mathcads symbolics is capable enough to give you al solutions, so you should use it.

If your goal is to limit the results to x1<x<x2 you may use the "assume" modifier.
