ANSWER
See below
EXPLANATION
Part a)
The given function is
From the graph, we can observe that, the absolute maximum occurs at (-0.7746,6.1859) and the absolute minimum occurs at (0.7746,5.8141).
b) Using calculus, we find the first derivative of the given function.
At turning point f'(x)=0.
This implies that,
We plug this values into the original function to obtain the y-values of the turning points
We now use the second derivative test to determine the absolute maximum minimum on the interval [-1,1]
Hence
is a maximum point.
Hence
is a minimum point.
Hence (0,-6) is a point of inflexion
