The polynomial function f(x)=(0.001x^3)-(0.12x^2)+3.6x+10, 0≤x≤75, models the
shape of a roller coaster track, where f is the vertical displacement of the
track and x is the horizontal displacement of the track. Both displacements
are in meters. Determine the absolute maximum and minimum heights along this stretch of track.
