Learn how to use the second derivative test for relative extrema radical function

The video tutorial covers the first and second derivative tests, focusing on identifying critical values and using the chain and quotient rules. It explains how to find the first derivative, set it to zero to find critical values, and apply the second derivative test to determine relative minimums. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding rational expressions and the application of calculus rules.
