2) unstable

3) neutral

the derivative of the function can never be zero.so what i think is can never attain any kind of equilibrium.

but.... can u plz tell ..how to derive any kind of equilibrium ? ?

do we differentiate eqn wrt x axis and equate it to zero ..plz help ..just tell the method..for obtaining different types of equilibrium

yup...

At eqb F=0 => dU/dx = 0

Now if d2Udx2 > 0 (or equivalently dFdx<0 ),ie, U is min then Stable Eqb

if d2Udx2 < 0 (or equivalently dFdx > 0) ,ie, U is max then Unstable Eqb

if d2Udx2 = 0 (or equivalently dFdx = 0) then Neutral Eqb
