We want to get the value of x that maximize f ′ ( x ) = 3 4 x 3 − x 4 . Let's calculate its derivate f ′ ′ ( x ) = 4 x 2 − 4 x 3 = 4 ( x 2 − x 3 ) ⇒ f ′ ′ ( 0 ) = f ′ ′ ( 1 ) = 0 ; (f '(1) > f '(0)) and f ′ ′ ′ ( 1 ) = 4 ( 2 − 3 ) < 0 ⇒ f ’(x) has a local maximum in x = 1 , furthemore l i m x → ∞ f ′ ( x ) = − ∞ and l i m x → − ∞ f ′ ( x ) = − ∞ ⇒ f '(x) has a global maximum at x = 1, because a global maximum would be also a local maximum in this case( f '(x) is infinitely derivative)
