Find out if the interval f(x)= -x³ -x, Df= [0,3) has maximum or minimum values
Set derivative equal to 0 and solve for x
F(x) = -x^3 - x
F'(x) = -3*x^2 - 1
solve for x with F'(x) = 0
-3*x^2 - 1 = 0
-3*x^2 = 1
3*x^2 = - 1
x^2 = -1/3
x = sqrt[-1/3]
since the argument of the square root is negative there is no minimun or maximum.
Set the first derivative equal to zero to find all max and min values.
