give the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve y = x^4 - 4x^3 + 27 and state with reason if they are minumum, maximum, or points of inflection.

differentiating the equation gives dy/dx = 4x^3 - 12x^2 dy/dx = 4x^2(x - 3) at a turning point, dy/dx = 0. Solving the equation 4x^2(x - 3) = 0 yeilds x = 0, x = 3 putting 0 and 3 back into the curves equati...
