Correct: $y'(x)=7x^6+6x$. Hence, $y'(0)=0$. $y''(x)=42x^5+6$, which implies $y''(0)=6>0$. This means that $x=0$ is a minimum location of $f(x)$.

Go on.

Wrong: What is $f''(0)$?

See Second-order condition extremum.
Antwoord 3 feedback
Wrong: You need the second-order derivative in order to determine whether the stationary point is a minimum or a maximum.
