![in this case, f(6)=5045 is the maximum for x∈[−6;6] we found local maximum at x=−(5/2) which could be the maximum in [−6;6] but it′s not because f(−(5/2))=((89)/(16))<5045 so the maximum of f(x) im this interval is 5045 the minimum is 4, it′s even the absolute minimum of f(x) for x∈R ⇒ it′s also the minimum within [−6;6]](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q33063.png)
