Function y=2x? The derivative function of-x 4 is:
y'= -4x? + 6x? = 2x? (-2x+3)
When x≤3/2 and y'≥0, y is increasing function.
When x > 3/2 and y'< 0, y is a decreasing function.
To sum up:
The monotonic increasing interval of the function y is (-∞, 3/2),
The monotone decreasing interval is (3/2, +∞).
The extreme value is y=2×(3/2)? - (3/2)^4 = 27/ 16
The extreme point is (3/2,27/16).
