To find the stationary points, we first find the derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\).
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = 8 + [-2] [(2x-1)^{-2}]\).
Set \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\):
\(0 = 8 - \frac{2}{(2x-1)^2}\).
Rearrange to find \((2x-1)^2 = \frac{1}{4}\).
Solving gives \(x = \frac{1}{4}\) and \(x = \frac{3}{4}\).
Next, find the second derivative \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 8(2x-1)^{-3}\).
Evaluate \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) at each stationary point:
When \(x = \frac{1}{4}\), \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -64\), which is less than 0, indicating a maximum.
When \(x = \frac{3}{4}\), \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 64\), which is greater than 0, indicating a minimum.
