Question

find absolute max and absolute min values of f on the given interval.f(x) = (x^2 − 1)^3, [−1, 4]

Answer 1

Find f'.

Answer 2

Find where f'=0 and where f' dne to find critical numbers.

Answer 3

Then do f(critical numbers) and f(endpoints)
Highest output will be the abs max value.
Lowest output will be the abs min value.
