Given, Absolute maximum or absolute minimum values of a function on the given interval exists at a point at which its first derivative is zero or at the end points of the given interval. So differentiating given function with respect to x, we get Now f'(x)=0 gives But , therefore x=3 Step 2 Now, Therefore absolute minimum value is 5 occurs at the point x = 0 and absolute maximum value is 113 occur at the point x =3.
