The given equation is  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
The Closed Interval Method To find the absolute maximum and minimum values of a continuous function   on a closed interval    :
1. Find the values of at the critical numbers of in   .
2. Find the values of  at the endpoints of the interval.
3. The largest of the values from Steps 1 and 2 is the absolute maximum value; the smallest of these values is the absolute minimum value.

 Definition A critical number of a function is a number   in the domain of   such that either   or   does not exist.

  The function   is continuous on  

 

Equating it with zero we get only one stationary point from the interval  and it's in  .
The values of   at these critical numbers are:
