find the turning point on the curve y=((16)/x)+(x^3 /(3 ))  and determine wether it is a point of maximum or minimum

y=16x^(−1) +3^(−1) x^3   turning point at y′=0  y^′ =−16x^(−2) +x^2 =0  x^2 =((16)/x^2 )  x^4 =16  (x^2 )^2 =(±4)^2   x=±2       for x∈R     x=+2  y′′=32x^(−3) +2x  y′′=32((1/8))+4(2)  y′′>0     ∴minimum when x=2    x=−2  y′′=32((1/(−8)))+4(−2)  y′′<0    ∴ maximum when x=−2
