Q: Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the interval [0,3].
f(x) = (x) / (x^2 - x + 1)
Can someone explain how to answer this?
f(x) = (x) / (x^2 - x + 1)

diff(x/(x^2 - x + 1), x) = 1/(x^2 - x + 1) - x*(2*x - 1)/(x^2 - x + 1)^2
solve(1/(x^2 - x + 1) - x*(2*x - 1)/(x^2 - x + 1)^2 = 0)
x1 = - 1, x2 = 1
Choose x = 1, for the restriction to the domain.
f(x) = (x)/(x^2 - x + 1)
f(1) = 1
point (1, 1) = Maximum
f(0) = 0
point (0, 0) = Minimum

you plug it in your calculator and then set your window so the x max is 3 and x min is 0. then you find the highest and lowest point, the absolute max and min respectivly
