We can't draw graphs for you here. You will have to get some graph paper and draw your own. It will be good practice for you.
The first equation has a local maximum or minimum at x = + or - sqrt(5/6)
The second funtion has a local maximum or minimum at x = + or - sqrt(2/3)
When you draw the curves you will see which are maxima or minima. Both have one of each.
Graph each function and approximate any local maxima or minima to the nearest tenth.
1. P(x) = 2x^3 - 5x
2. P(x) = 2x^3 - 4x + 1
