Problem

Let f(x)=x4−4x3+6x2+5f(x)=x^{4}-4x^{3}+6x^{2}+5 be defined on the closed interval [0,3][0,3]. Answer the following: (i) Obtain the stationary points of ff lying in the interval [0,3][0,3]." (ii) Classify each stationary point found in (i)." (iii) Evaluate ff at the stationary points and at the end–points of the interval." (iv) Hence determine the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of ff on [0,3][0,3], and state the range of ff on this interval."
