Use a graphing calculator to estimate the local maximum and local minimum values of the function to the nearest
hundredth.
-$$f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } - x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 2$$
A) Local max: $( - 1.42,1.35 )$; local min: $( 3.27 , - 0.68 )$
B) Local max: $( - 0.72,3.27 )$; local min: $( 1.39 , - 1.42 )$
C) Local max: $( - 1.42,1.39 )$; local min: $( 3.27 , - 0.72 )$
D) Local max: $( - 0.72,3.31 )$; local min: $( 1.39 , - 1.36 )$

Using a graphing calculator to plot the function $f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 3x + 2$, we can visually identify the points of local maximum and minimum. The correct estimates to the nearest hundredth for the local maximum and minimum are given in option B: Local max at approximately $(-0.72, 3.27)$ and local min at approximately $(1.39, -1.42)$.
