I'm trying to find the max and min of a function over a function, but I can't seem to figure out how. My equation is y = (1*x^4)/4+(4*x^3)/3- 5*(x^2)/2 over -3<=x<=3. I tried doing min(y) and max(y) but it's not working. Does anybody know how to find the max and min???

Other than editing away most of your question, what else have you done? Did you like any of the Answers below?

Ran in:
You need a function like fminbnd:
y =@(x) (1*x.^4)/4+(4*x.^3)/3- 5*(x.^2)/2;
x_min = fminbnd(y,-3,3)
x_min = -2.9999
Let's confirm this with a plot:
fplot(y,[-3 3])

Try this:
x = linspace(-3, 3, 1000);
y = (1*x.^4)/4+(4*x.^3)/3- 5*(x.^2)/2;
plot(x, y, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
% Find where min is
[yMin, indexOfMin] = min(y);
fprintf('Min of y at x = %f, y = %f.\n', x(indexOfMin), min(y));
You get
Min of y at x = -3.000000, y = -38.250000.
Is that what you were looking for?

Ran in:
syms x
y = (1*x.^4)/4+(4*x.^3)/3- 5*(x.^2)/2
y = 
LB = -3; UB = 3;
xcrit = solve(diff(y, x),x)
xcrit = 
xcrit(xcrit < LB | xcrit > UB) = [];
xcrit = unique([xcrit; LB; UB])
xcrit = 
ycrit = subs(y,x,xcrit)
ycrit = 
[miny, minidx] = min(ycrit)
miny = 
minidx = 1
[maxy, maxidx] = max(ycrit)
maxy = 
maxidx = 4
fprintf('minimum is %g at %g\n', miny, xcrit(minidx))
minimum is -38.25 at -3
fprintf('maximum is %g at %g\n', maxy, xcrit(maxidx))
maximum is 33.75 at 3
