No ideas at all?
Critical numbers are min, max, point of inflection, roots
min and max occur where f' = 0
inflection is where f'' = 0 and f' ≠ zero
The absolute value problem is tricky, since you can't rely on f' to get the min/max.
Observe, however, that |5t-4| is always at least zero.
It is zero only where 5t-4 = 0.
