Answer

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-1,6] is -3 at x=0. The absolute minimum of f(x) on [1,6] is -16 at x=0 and x=-1.

Work Step by Step

$f'(x)=12x^{2}-9x$ $f'(x)=0 \rightarrow -3x^{2}+12x=0 \rightarrow x=\frac{3}{4}, x=0 $ $f(\frac{3}{4})=\frac{-51}{8}$ $f(0)=-3$ $f(-1)=-16$ $f(2)=-7$ The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-1,6] is -3 at x=0. The absolute minimum of f(x) on [1,6] is -16 at x=0 and x=-1
