Let f(x)=x4−4x3f(x) = x^{4} - 4x^{3}. Which statement about the critical points of ff is correct? a) x=0x=0 is a local maximum, and x=3x=3 is a local minimum b) x=0x=0 is a critical point that is not a local extremum, whereas x=3x=3 is a local minimum c) x=0x=0 is not a critical point, while x=3x=3 is a local minimum d) Neither x=0x=0 nor x=3x=3 is a critical point because f′′(x)f''(x) exists at both points
