The function ,
.
Maximum value of a function exist either at the end points or at the critical points.
\First evaluate the function at the end points.
\Substitute in
.
Substitute in
.
\
Find the critical points.
\ is differentiable at all points because its a polynomial.
Therefore are the only critical points.
Differentiate on each sides with respect to
.
To find out critical points equate to zero.

\
Find the absolute maximum value.
\Substitute in
.
.
Since and
are positive numbers,
.
Absolute maximum is .
