y = 1/x-2
= (x-2)^-1
dy/dx = -(x-2)^-2
= -1/(x-2)^2
stat pts where -1/(x-2)^2 = 0
since the numerator is not zero dy/dx cannot equal zero...so there is no soln for x, ie no stat points.

I thought you could find a stationary point by subbing in 2 into (x-2)2 it would make it undefined, then I read your writing then I realise either way there is no stationary points.watatank said:
I get questions like these, but I prefer interpreting questions from and on paper instead of a computer screen.
