Use a graphing calculator to estimate the local maximum and local minimum values of the function to the nearest
hundredth.
-$$y = 3 x ^ { 3 } - 4 x ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 2$$
A) Local max: $( - 0.48,3.63 )$; local min: $( 1.38 , - 6.01 )$
B) Local max: (-0.48, 3.68); local min: $( 1.38 , - 6.15 )$
C) Local max: $( - 0.44,3.61 )$; local min: $( 1.45 , - 5.97 )$
D) Local max: $( - 6.01,1.38 )$; local min: $( 3.63 , - 0.48 )$

Using a graphing calculator to plot the function $y = 3x^3 - 4x^2 - 6x + 2$ and finding the local maximum and minimum points, the closest values are local max at $(-0.48, 3.63)$ and local min at $(1.38, -6.01)$, which matches option A.
