-'''(a)'''
-{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style = "text-align:left;"
-!Step 1: &nbsp;
-|-
-|To find the critical points, first we need to find <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f'(x)</math>.
-|-
-|Using the Product Rule, we have
-|-
-|
-::<math>\begin{array}{rcl}
-\displaystyle{f'(x)} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{3}x^{-\frac{2}{3}}(x-8)+x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\\
-&&\\
-& = & \displaystyle{\frac{x-8}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\\
-\end{array}</math>
-|}
-{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style = "text-align:left;"
-!Step 2: &nbsp;
-|-
-|Notice <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f'(x)</math> is undefined when <math style="vertical-align: -1px">x=0</math>.
-|-
-|Now, we need to set <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f'(x)=0</math>.
-|-
-|So, we get
-|-
-|
-::<math>-x^{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{x-8}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}}</math>.
-|-
-|We cross multiply to get <math style="vertical-align: 1px">-3x=x-8</math>.
-|-
-|Solving, we get <math style="vertical-align: -1px">x=2</math>.
-|-
-|Thus, the critical points for <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f(x)</math> are <math style="vertical-align: -4px">(0,0)</math> and <math style="vertical-align: -4px">(2,2^{\frac{1}{3}}(-6))</math>.

-'''(b)'''
-{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style = "text-align:left;"
-!Step 1: &nbsp;
-|-
-|We need to compare the values of <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f(x)</math> at the critical points and at the endpoints of the interval.
-|-
-|Using the equation given, we have <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f(-8)=32</math> and <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f(8)=0</math>.
-|}
-{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style = "text-align:left;"
-!Step 2: &nbsp;
-|-
-|Comparing the values in Step 1 with the critical points in '''(a)''', the absolute maximum value for <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f(x)</math> is <math style="vertical-align: -1px">32</math>
-|-
-|and the absolute minimum value for <math style="vertical-align: -5px">f(x)</math> is <math style="vertical-align: -5px">2^{\frac{1}{3}}(-6)</math>.

-{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style = "text-align:left;"
