Answer:

(x, y) = (7, -48)

Explanation:

A critical point is where the slope is zero or undefined. A polynomial function will never have any points where the slope is undefined.

The slope is zero were f'(x) = 0.

f'(x) = 2x -14

0 = 2x -14

0 = x -7

7 = x

f(7) = 49 -98 +1 = -48

The critical point is (7, -48).
