The "critical points" of a function are the points at which the derivative equals zero or the derivative is undefined. To find the critical points, you first find the derivative of the function. You then set that derivative equal to zero. Any values at which the derivative equals zero are "critical points". You then determine if the derivative is ever undefined at a point (for example, because the denominator of a fraction is equal to zero at that point). Any such points are also called "critical points".
In essence, the critical points are the relative minima or maxima of a function (where the graph of the function reverses direction) and can be easily determined by visually examining the graph.

How can you calculate how many points you missed on a test?
Full points minus the stuff you missed.
How critical value is calculated in Kolmogorov-Smirnov test?
if my data followed to a special distribution, how can i calculate the critical value of k-s test in this case?
How to calculate a percentage?
It depends on what you're trying to calculate a percentage for. On a homework, test, or other scholastic assignment it would be:Total Points Earned ÷ Total Points Possible.Example: 45 points earned on a test totaling 50 points. 45 ÷ 50 = .90 or 90%
What is important to remember about critical points that are zeros of the denominator?
If the denominator is zero at some point, then the function is not defined at the corresponding points.
