alleryStart learning →By Fermat's theorem, where can an interior local extremum of a differentiable function occur?
AAt zeros of the function
BAt inflection points
CAt endpoints only
DAt critical points
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. At critical points
At an interior local extremum of a differentiable function the derivative is zero, so the point is a critical point.
