Answer

$0, ±\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}}, ±1$

Work Step by Step

let $f(x)$ = $x^{2}\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$ $f'(x)$ = $-\frac{x^{3}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}+2x\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$ $f'(x)$ = $\frac{2x-3x^{3}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$ This derivative is 0 $0$ = $\frac{2x-3x^{3}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$ $0$ = $2x-3x^{3}$ $0$ = $x(2-3x^{2)}$ $x$ = $0, ±\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}}$ the derivative does not exist when x = ±1 $0, ±\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}}, ±1$ are critical points of f
