Provide the proper response.You are applying the second derivative test and you find that 
and f''(a) = 0. What does that tell you? What would be your next step?
What will be an ideal response?
You were applying the second derivative test to determine if you have a local minimum or a local maximum at a. If both f'(a) and f''(a) equal 0, the test is inconclusive. You would then apply the first derivative test.
