From the graph of we know that there is one minimum. We’ll find it by setting the derivative of
equal to 0. We have
![]() |
where
![]() |
To make things look simpler we’ll write for
Now
![]() |
The derivative of the function is
![]() |
Using the chain rule gives
![]() |
Thus
![]() |
Setting gives
![]() |
Noting that and rearranging gives
![]() |
