Left Bound
Notice two things (1) The arrow indicates the calculator will look for a
maximum value to the right of the left bound. (2) The calculator now

You now have the left and right bounds established. The calculator
prompts the user for a Guess?. Move the cursor near the local maxima
and press ENTER. The calculator then provides the local maxima.

The procedure for finding the local minima is similar to that of finding
the local maxima, except we select option 3: minimum in the CALC
menu. Try this yourself to see if you obtain the results shown in Figure
18(b).
