This study guide covers critical points of implicit relations, including how to identify them by finding where the derivative is zero or undefined. It explains finding horizontal and vertical tangents using the first derivative. The guide also demonstrates classifying critical points (local minima, maxima, inflection points) using the second derivative and provides worked examples and practice questions.
