  1. A 2,1
  2. B \(-2,-1\)
  3. C \(2,-1\)
  4. D do not exist
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) do not exist

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 3x^2 + 2x + 1\) \(3x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0\) \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4(3)(1) = 4 - 12 = -8\) Since \(\Delta Critical points do not exist.
