Homework Statement
Find the absolute max/min on [-1,3] for y = x^2 * e^-x
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
F'(y) = (2x)(e^-x) + (x^2)(e^-x)
= xe^-x(2 + x)
x = 0, -2 (Critical Points)
F(-2) = 29.56 MAX (CP)
F(-1) = 10.87
F(0) = 4
F(3) = 0.199 MIN (Right Endpoint)
Can someone please confirm if I am doing this correctly?
