On the curve shown, the points at which the gradient of the curve is equal to zero are

−1123456xybegjmacdfhil
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The gradient is zero where the tangent is horizontal, which happens at the turning points: the peaks and the troughs.
  2. The peaks are bb, gg and mm and the troughs are ee and jj.
  3. So the points are b,e,g,j,mb, e, g, j, m, option B.
