The absolute extreme values of the function are (-3, 32) and (1, 0)

How to determine the absolute extreme values of the function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

x³ + 3x² - 9x + 5

Differentiate the function

So, we have

3x² + 6x - 9

Set to 0

3x² + 6x - 9 = 0

This gives

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

When evaluated, we have

x = -3 and x = 1

Recall that

x³ + 3x² - 9x + 5

So, we have

(-3)³ + 3(-3)² - 9(-3) + 5 = 32

(1)³ + 3(1)² - 9(1) + 5 = 0

Hence, the absolute exterem values of the function are (-3, 32) and (1, 0)
