We can see the first derivative test in action: at the peaks and valleys – the relative extrema – the color changes. This is because $f'$ is changing sign as as the function changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa.

This function has a critical point at $0$, as can be seen. It corresponds to a point where the derivative does not exist. It is still identified through `find_zeros`, which picks up zeros and in case of discontinuous functions, like `f'`, zero crossings:

We see the six zeros as stored in `cps` and note that at each the function clearly crosses the $x$ axis.

From this last graph of the derivative we can also characterize the graph of $f$: The left-most critical point coincides with a relative minimum of $f$, as the derivative changes sign from negative to positive. The critical points then alternate relative maximum, relative minimum, relative maximum, relative, minimum, and finally relative maximum.

That $j''(0.6) < 0$ implies that at $0.6$, $j(x)$ will have a relative maximum. As $''(1) > 0$, the second derivative test says at $x=1$ there will be a relative minimum. That $j''(0) = 0$ says that only that there **may** be a relative maximum or minimum at $x=0$, as the second derivative test does not speak to this situation. (This last check, requiring a function evaluation to be `0`, is susceptible to floating point errors, so isn't very robust as a general tool.)
