The points x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5 are critical points. Of these, x1, x2,
and x5 are stationary points.
Figure 4.2.3 illustrates that a relative extremum can also
occur at a point where a function is not differentiable.
In general, we define a critical point for a function f to be a
point in the domain of f at which either the graph of f has a
horizontal tangent line or f is not differentiable (line is
vertical).to distinguish between the two types of critical
points we call x a stationary point of f if f’(x)=0.
