Show some effort - where is your working? Where in particular are you having trouble?

Solve:

1. $0 = x^3-3x^2+3$

2. $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$.

3. $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 0$.

4. Revise the definitions of the various types of asymptotes.

Well I know Y=3 Im just not sure how to get the X values when y=o.

You will struggle to solve this cubic equation exactly using algebraic methods. You're probably expected to get decimal approximations using technology.
