NAME: SCORE:
GR./SECTION: DATE:

A. Follow the steps in finding the absolute extrema of the given function.

STEPS:
1. Find the first derivative if the given function.
2. Equate the first derivative of the given function to 0. (to find the critical number (s)).
3. Substitute the given interval and the critical number(s) to the given function.
4. Select the maximum by finding the largest value in 3rd step and the minimum by
finding the smallest value in 3rd step.
