If the denominator is zero at some point, then the function is not defined at the corresponding points.

How do you calculate critical points of derivatives?
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.
Can the concavity of a curve be determined by differentiation?
Yes, the concavity of a curve can be determined by differentiation. To find out the concavity of a graph at various points, you want to analyze the second derivative (f''(x)). Take the derivative of your original equation, then, take the derivative of this equation. By setting this second derivative to zero, you can solve for the critical points (x-intercepts/asymptotes) of the second derivative graph. Once these critical points are found, make a number line with these points marked. By doing a sign test on either sides of the critical points (plug in numbers below and above the critical points into the second derivative equation), you can find the concavities of your original graph. Wherever the sign tests results in a positive number, that is where a upward facing curve is (concave up); where it is negative, that is where a concave down portion is.
Why is it necessary to add a decimal point when you are dividing a numerator from a denominator?
It is not always necessary. For example 100/5 = 20. No decimal points in sight!
What does the numerator of the z score test statistic measure?
The numerator of the z-score test statistic measures the points earned on the test. The denominator measures the amount of possible points that could have been earned.
What cognitive skills in critical thinking has to do with your ability to differentiate estimate and infer ideas and concept?
This is critical thinking. This allows you to read something and understand the different points of view so that you can make educated guesses.

Are end points considered critical points?
No.
To find critical points?
Take the derivative of the function and set it equal to zero. The solution(s) are your critical points.
Can there be more than one critical path in a given project schedule?
Yes. Practically that is perfectly possible. A Critical Path is the longest path between the start and end points and it is possible that there are multiple critical paths. Critical Paths are extremely important while creating a project schedule
Why is it important to summarise your points?

Why do we set the denominator to zero to graph a rational function?
We set the denominator to zero to find the singularities: points where the graph is undefined.
When did Pathogen Reduction and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points begin?
Pathogen Reduction and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), were imposed in 1996
What does the critical point represent?
Critical point is also known as a critical state, occurs under conditions at which no phase boundaries exist. There are multiple types of critical points, including vapor-liquid critical points and liqui-liquid critical points.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
When was the Pathogen Reduction and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points rule instituted?
The Pathogen Reduction and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points rule was instituted in 1996
What the letters HACCP Stan for?
Hazard analysis of critical control points
What part of the job hunting process is critical when securing the job?
All parts are important. Having an up to date CV. A well written covering letter. Applying for an appropriate job. Commuting distance All these points are important.
