According to the standard Calculus recipe, you must take a derivative,

equate it to zero, solve the corresponding equation and find its solution.


Then evaluate the value of the function at the found solution.



After that, you must calculate the values of the given function at the ends of the given interval and compare

the three values, choosing the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum.
