Stationary Points (Turning Points)

Stationary points are a very useful component in graph sketching and a great direct application of differentiation. In this video we will go through what stationary points are, how to find minimum and maximum stationary points and learn about points of inflection. Before watching this video we highly recommend that you watch the first video of our differentiation series here:
