The derivative of a function ff is given by f(x)=x2(x3)f'(x) = x^2(x-3). For what value(s) of xx does the graph of ff have a relative minimum?

Explanation

Core Concept

Correct. A relative minimum occurs where the derivative changes from negative to positive. The factor x2x^2 ensures f(x)f'(x) is negative for all x<3x < 3 (except x=0x=0), and the factor (x3)(x-3) makes f(x)f'(x) positive for x>3x > 3.
