Answer

x-int: (-2.115, 0) (0.254, 0) (1.861, 0) y-int: (0,1) Local Maximum: (-1.155, 4.079) Local Minimum: (1.155, -2.079) See graph below.

Work Step by Step

The question asks for the graph, the x and y-intercepts, and the coordinates of all local extrema. This graph will be done in Desmos; the gray dots on the graph represent the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, and all local extrema Given $P(x) = x^3 - 4x + 1$ See graph below. x-int: (-2.115, 0) (0.254, 0) (1.861, 0) y-int: (0,1) Local Maximum: (-1.155, 4.079) Local Minimum: (1.155, -2.079)
