Question

Find the equilibrium positions of the following 1-dimensional potential energy function. Examine the stability of these positions. Find the classical turning points for E = -W/8.

U(x) = ( -Wd(x2 + d2) ) / ( x4 + 8d)

Here W and d are positive constants.​​​​​​​
Help: Use the Z(y) = U(y) / W function after defining the y = x/d auxiliary variable.
