    Dy/dx=-.08x^3+.72x

    d2y/dx2=-.24x^2+.72

    .08x (9-x^2) so we have extrema at x=-3,0,3

    d2y/dx2 (-3) = - 1.44, (0) =.72, (3) = - 1.44

    So you have two global maximums at (±3,0)

    We have a local minimum at (0,-1.62)

    There are no global minimums as the function decreases without bound as x approaches ±oo
