In this lesson, we solve part (a) of Question #02 from the AIOU 1429 Business Mathematics past paper (Spring 2025). You will learn how to find the stationary points and stationary values of a cubic function by:
Computing the first derivative.
Setting the derivative equal to zero to find critical x‑values.
Substituting those x‑values back into the original function to obtain stationary values.
This is a fundamental concept in calculus used to analyze the behaviour of functions.
