You Try It!
(1)  Determine the maximum and minimum points of the function
restart;with(plots):
y:=3*x^4+4*x^3-4*x^2-8*x+2;
dy:=diff(y,x);
ddy:=diff(y,x$2);
CritPt:=solve(dy=0,x);
evalf(CritPt);
concave1:=subs(x=CritPt[1],ddy);
ycrit1:=subs(x=CritPt[1],dy);
ycrit1:=evalf(subs(x=CritPt[1],y));
concave2:=subs(x=CritPt[2],ddy);
ycrit2:=evalf(subs(x=CritPt[2],y));
concave3:=subs(x=CritPt[3],ddy);
ycrit3:=evalf(subs(x=CritPt[3],y));

with(student);
maxvalue:=evalf(maximize(y));
minvalue:=evalf(minimize(y));
extremevalues:=evalf(extrema(y,{},x));

(2)  Create a graph of the function that has the extrema labeled on the graph.
t1:=textplot([2,12,"Relative Minimum at (-.816, 5.021)"],align=ABOVE):
t2:=textplot([0,50,"Relative Minimum at (.816, -3.688)"],align=ABOVE):
t3:=textplot([-2,12,"Relative Maximum at (0, 5)"],align=ABOVE):
p1:=plot(y,x=-4..4):
display(p1,t1,t2,t3);
(3)  Draw the tangent line to the graph at x = 2
with(student);
showtangent(y,x=2,x=-4..4);
(4)  Determine the value of
Sum(1/x,x=1..10):=sum(1/x,x=1..10);
(5)  Determine the value of the following integrals
Int(x^3,x=1..5):=int(x^3,x=1..5);
Int(1/sqrt(9-4*x^2),x=0..1):=int(1/sqrt(9-4*x^2),x=0..1);
Int(sqrt(x^2+9),x=0..1+sqrt(w)):=int(sqrt(x^2+9),x=0..1+sqrt(w));
