How do I find the stationary points of a curve?

To find the stationary points of a curve y, you should first find the differential of the curve(dy/dx).Once you have an equation for dy/dx, you should solve it for when dy/dx is equal to zero. This gives you the x values of the coordinates of the stationary points. To find the y values, simply plug the x values found into the equation of the curve y.
