Consider the function f(x) = x2-6x+20. This function has a stationary point at x = 3.

 

Determine the nature of this stationary point and how do we know this to be true.

A.

It is a minimum stationary point because the second derivative of the function with respect to x takes the value 2, which is positive.

B.

It is a maximum stationary point because the second derivative of the function with respect to x takes the value 2, which is positive.

C.

It is a maximum stationary point because the value of the function at x = 3 is 11, which is positive.

D.

It is a minimum stationary point because the value of the function at x = 3 is 11, which is positive.
