Given function is
f ( x) = x^2\\ f^{'}(x) = 2x\\ f^{'}(x) = 0 \Rightarrow 2x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0
So, x = 0 is the only critical point of the given function
f^{'}(0) = 0\\  So we find it through the 2nd derivative test
f^{''}(x) = 2\\ f^{''}(0) = 2\\ f^{''}(0)> 0
Hence, by this, we can say that 0 is a point of minima
and the minimum value is
f(0) = (0)^2 = 0
