ISSUES IN SOLUTION
Student's will not be fast to come up with a method for numerically determining the A-values for which the extrema arise (in Problem 9.) However, by guessing and checking graphs, they should be able to get good estimates on the critical A-values.
The implicit plot in the solution of the last problem is actually a bifurcation diagram, and the analysis done here is similar to the analysis that one does when studying dynamical systems.
