$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ and the interval is $\"\"$ .

\

Absolute maxima or minima are exist either at the end points or at the critical numbers.

\

Find the critical numbers :

\

$\"\"$ is differentiable at all points because its a polynomial.

\

Therefore the solutions of $\"\"$ are the only critical numbers.

\

Differentiate $\"\"$ on each side with respect to $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Equate $\"\"$ to zero.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ and $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

The critical numbers are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

The end points are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Find the value of $\"\"$ at the critical numbers.

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Find the value of $\"\"$ at the end points of the interval.

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Since the largest value is $\"\"$ , absolute maximum is $\"\"$ .

\

Since the smallest value is $\"\"$ , absolute minimum is $\"\"$ .

\

\

Absolute maximum is $\"\"$ .

\

Absolute minimum is $\"\"$ .
