So I'm assuming that you're taking Calculus.
The first thing you want to do is take the integral of f(x)...
Use the power rule to get:
4X^2-13X+3.
Now solve for X when f(x)=0. This is because when the slope is 0, it is either a minimum or a maximum(I'm assuming you know this)
Now you get X=0.25 and X=3. Since we are working in the interval of (1,4), we can ignore 0.25
Thus our potential X values for max and min are X=1,X=4,X=3(You don't want to forget the ends of the bounds!)
Plugging these value in for f(x), we get
f(1)=2.833
f(3)=-8.5
f(4)=1.667
Thus X=1 is the max and X=3 is the min.
So max:(1,2.833)
min:(3,-8.5)

Hope this helps!

Answer

Find out the what was the price of the stereo .

To prove

Let us assume that the price of the stereo be x .

As given

Consumer Math The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%.

7% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{7}{100}$

= 0.07

As given

Amanda paid $35 in sales tax on a new stereo .

Than the equation becomes

x × 0.07 = 35

$x = \frac{35}{0.07}$

solving the above

x = $ 500

Therefore the price of the stereo is $ 500 .

Hence proved
