What is the difference between a critical point and a stationary point?
critical points are
(A) stationary points (y' = 0) and
(B) singularities, (y' = ndef)
critical points are
(A) stationary points (y' = 0) and

A critical point is a point on a function where its derivative is either zero or undefined. A stationary point is a specific type of critical point where the derivative of the function is zero. Not all critical points are stationary points, but all stationary points are critical points.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
