The critical points of a function f(x) occur at x = 2 & x = 6 and its 8 second order derivative is given by f "(x) : (4 – x)3 If the Local Minimum of the function occurs at x = b , find b. Note: If say b = 4 , just enter 4. Enter an integer or a fully reduced fraction such as 4, -16 ,3/7 , 1/9 etc. No Spaces please.
