Find the absolute maximum and minimum value of h(x)=2x^3+3x^2-72x+3 on [0,5]

F'(X)=6x^2+6x-72

6x^2+6x-72=0

x^2+X-12=0

(X+4)(X-3)=0

x=-4 X=3

 

Then in a chart with X values on one side and f(X) values on the other side (I don't know how to make a chart on here if you can)

0, 3

5, -32

3, -132

 

So,

absolute maximum of f(X)=3 at X=0

absolute minimum of f(X)= -132 at X=3
