Find the stationary points of the curve y=2*x^3-15*x^2+24*x+17. Determine whether these points are maximum or minimum.

First, differentiate and put the derivative equal to zero. dy/dx=6 x^2-30 x+24=0. Solve this equation to get that x=4 and x=1. Substitute these values into the original equation to get the corresponding valu...
