Step 1:

The function is and interval is .

Absolute maxima or minima are exist either at the end points or at the critical numbers.

Find the critical numbers :

is differentiable at all points because its a polynomial.

Therefore the solutions of are the only critical numbers.

Differentiate on each side with respect to t.

Equate to zero.
