has two critical numbers.

The smaller one is x =

and the larger one is x =

Step-by-step explanation:

A "critical number" is a function argument where the function has zero or undefined slope. A polynomial function never has undefined slope, so we're looking for the x-values where f'(x) = 0.

A graphing calculator easily shows the points that have zero slope. They are found at x = 3 and x = 6.

_____

Setting the derivative to zero is another way to find the points with zero slope:

  f'(x) = 6x^2 -54x +108 = 6(x^2 -9x +18) = 6(x-3)(x-6)

The derivative will be zero where the factors are zero, at x=3 and x=6.

The critical numbers are x=3 and x=6.

it depends on the weather. because i have flown to seattle when it was pouring down rain and there was one time i flew to ohio when it was snowing hard. whats your situation.
