Finding Extrema Using Technology In Exercises 55-58,
(a) use a computer algebra system to graph the function and approximate any absolute extrema on the given interval.
(b) Use the utility to find any critical numbers, and use them to find any absolute extrema not located at the endpoints. Compare the results with those in part (a).
