Question
Suppose that
is a polynomial of degree 3 and that
at any of the stationary point. Then
- f.has exactly one stationary point
- f must have no stationary point
- f must have exactly two stationary points
- f has either zero or two stationary point
The correct answer is: f has either zero or two stationary point




For 
and 
At
changes sign from +ve to
ve and hence
is maximum at
and its value is

Also,
, in which case
. But we are told that the 2nd derivative is non-zero at critical point. Hence, there must be either 0 or 2 critical points
