Answer

\(\boxed{x=2+\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}}\) and \(\boxed{x=2-\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}}\) are the solutions of the equation

Steps

Step 1 :\(f'(x) = 3x^{2}-12x+4\)

Step 2 :\(3x^{2}-12x+4=0\)

Step 3 :\(x^{2}-4x+\frac{4}{3}=0\)

Step 4 :\(x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4*1*\frac{4}{3}}}{2*1}\)

Step 5 :\(x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16-\frac{16}{3}}}{2}\)

Step 6 :\(x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{\frac{32}{3}}}{2}\)

Step 7 :\(x=2\pm\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}\)

Step 8 :Test the intervals \((-\infty, 2-\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}})\), \((2-\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}, 2+\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}})\), and \((2+\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}, \infty)\) in the original function

Step 9 :The function is below the x-axis in the intervals \((-\infty, 2-\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}})\) and \((2+\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}, \infty)\), and above the x-axis in the interval \((2-\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}, 2+\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}})\)

Step 10 :\(\boxed{x=2+\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}}\) and \(\boxed{x=2-\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}}\) are the solutions of the equation
