  1. Given f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d:
  2. f(4) = 64a + 16b+4c+d
  3.  
  4. f(-2) = -8a + 4b - 2c + d = 3
  5.  
  6.  
  7. At a maximum or minimum (for a polynomial), the derivative equals 0 (horizontal tangent).
  8. Since f '(x) = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c
  9. f '(4) = 48a + 8b + c = 0.
  10.  
  11. f '(-2) = 12a - 4b + c = 0
  12.  
  13. ----------------------------
  14. Now, we have 4 equations in 4 unknowns
  15. -8a + 4b - 2c + d =-10
  16. 64a + 16b + 4c + d = 0
  17. 12a - 4b + c = 0
  18. 48a + 8b + c = 0.
