Answer:

Relative maximum at x=0; Relative minimum at x=8/3

Explanation:

To find the relative maximums and the relative minimums, you must first find the first derivative of the function. The first derivative of this function is 6x^2-16x. Simply it and you get 2x(3x-8). X would be equal to 0 and 8/3. Next, make a number line where you put 0 and 8/3 have a value of zero.

+ - +

-------------------0----------------------------8/3-----------------------

Plug in a value of x<0 to get the region left of 0. Say we use -1, we get -2(-3-8), which is positive, meaning that it is increasing there. From 0 to 8/3, if we use 1, we get 2(3-8), which is decreasing. If we use 3, we get 6(9-8), which is increasing. From this, we can see that when x=0, the graph has a relative maximum. When x=8/3, the graph has a relative minimum.
