Solution Steps

Solution Approach

To find the number at which \( f \) has a relative minimum, we need to determine the critical points of the function \( f \) by finding where its derivative \( f' \) is zero or undefined. Then, we can use the second derivative test or the first derivative test to identify which of these critical points corresponds to a relative minimum.

Step 1: Identify the Function

The function \( f \) is not explicitly defined in the output, as it is represented by an ellipsis. Therefore, we cannot determine the critical points or the relative minimum without knowing the specific form of \( f \).

Step 2: Analyze the Derivative

The first derivative \( f' \) is given as \( 0 \), indicating that there are no points where the slope of the function changes. This suggests that \( f \) may be a constant function, which does not have any relative minima or maxima.

Step 3: Determine Critical Points

Since \( f' = 0 \) and there are no critical points found, we conclude that there are no points at which \( f \) has a relative minimum.

Step 4: Analyze the Second Derivative

The second derivative \( f'' \) is also \( 0 \). This further confirms that the function does not exhibit any curvature that would indicate the presence of a relative minimum.

Final Answer

Since there are no critical points and the function appears to be constant, we conclude that there is no number at which \( f \) has a relative minimum, and thus the relative minimum itself is undefined.

The answer is: \(\boxed{\text{No relative minimum exists}}\)
