Answer

Absolute minimum of $1$ at $x=0.$ Absolute maximum of about $1.964$ at $x\approx 1.739$

Work Step by Step

Graph $f(x)$ and $f'(x)$. See image below, work done on desmos.com. The derivative is zero (critical points) for $x\approx 1.729$ $x\approx 5.393$, and we calculate $f(x)$ at the endpoints and critical points (also on the image) We find: Absolute minimum of $1$ at $x=0.$ Absolute maximum of about $1.964$ at $x\approx 1.739$ .
