Observe the table:
\Since is a third degree polynomial, since it has either
or
real zeros.
The change in sign indicates that there is a zero between and
.
Graph:
\Graph the function .
Plot the points obtained in the table
\
Observe the graph:
\The graph turns at and
.
The value of the function is greater than the surrounding points at .
Thus graph has the relative maxima at -coordinate
.
The value of the function is less than the surrounding points at .
The graph has the relative minima at .
Find domain and range:
\The function is defined for all values of .
So, the domain is set of all real numbers.
\The function consider all real numbers.
\So, the range is set of all real numbers.
\The function has relative maxima and relative minima points.
\The function domain and ranges are all real numbers.
