\Definition of local maximum and local minimum :
\1. The number
is a local maximum value of

when
is near
.
2.The number
is a local minimum value of
if
when
is near
.
Definition of absolute maximum and absolute minimum :
\Let
be a number in the domain
of a function
.
1.The number
is a absolute maximum value of
on
if
for all
in
.
2.The number
is a absolute minimum value of
on

Step 2:
\The function is
in the

Graph :
\Graph the function
in the interval
.

Observe the graph.
\The graph of the function
is decreasing as the values of
.
Hence the function has no global extrema and no local extrema.
\Solution:
\The function has no global extrema and no local extrema in the interval
.
