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 on the interval .

Therefore the solutions of  are the only critical numbers.

Differentiate  on each side with respect to .

Equate  to zero.

At , the function  is undefined, but it is not in the domain.

Since  is not in the interval , the critical number is .

The end points are  and .

Find the value of  at the critical numbers.

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 .
