Step 2.1.2.1.1

Raising $0$ to any positive power yields $0$ .

$\frac{1}{20} \cdot 0 - 25 \sqrt{0}$

Step 2.1.2.1.2

Multiply $\frac{1}{20}$ by $0$ .

$0 - 25 \sqrt{0}$

Step 2.1.2.1.3

Rewrite $0$ as $0^{2}$ .

$0 - 25 \sqrt{0^{2}}$

Step 2.1.2.1.4

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$0 - 25 \cdot 0$

Step 2.1.2.1.5

Multiply $- 25$ by $0$ .

$0 + 0$

Step 2.1.2.2

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$0$

Step 2.2.2.1.2.1

Factor $4$ out of $20$ .

$\frac{1}{4 (5)} \cdot 1296 - 25 \sqrt{36}$

Step 2.2.2.1.2.2

Factor $4$ out of $1296$ .

$\frac{1}{4 \cdot 5} \cdot (4 \cdot 324) - 25 \sqrt{36}$

Step 2.2.2.1.2.3

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{4 \cdot 5} \cdot (4 \cdot 324) - 25 \sqrt{36}$

Step 2.2.2.1.2.4

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot 324 - 25 \sqrt{36}$

Step 2.2.2.1.3

Combine $\frac{1}{5}$ and $324$ .

$\frac{324}{5} - 25 \sqrt{36}$

Step 2.2.2.1.4

Rewrite $36$ as $6^{2}$ .

$\frac{324}{5} - 25 \sqrt{6^{2}}$

Step 2.2.2.1.5

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$\frac{324}{5} - 25 \cdot 6$

Step 2.2.2.1.6

Multiply $- 25$ by $6$ .

$\frac{324}{5} - 150$

Step 2.2.2.2

To write $- 150$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{5}{5}$ .

$\frac{324}{5} - 150 \cdot \frac{5}{5}$

Step 2.2.2.3

Combine $- 150$ and $\frac{5}{5}$ .

$\frac{324}{5} + \frac{- 150 \cdot 5}{5}$

Step 2.2.2.4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{324 - 150 \cdot 5}{5}$

Step 2.2.2.5

Simplify the numerator.

Step 2.2.2.5.1

Multiply $- 150$ by $5$ .

$\frac{324 - 750}{5}$

Step 2.2.2.5.2

Subtract $750$ from $324$ .

$\frac{- 426}{5}$

Step 2.2.2.6

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{426}{5}$

Step 2.3

List all of the points.

$(0, 0), (36, - \frac{426}{5})$

Step 3

Compare the $g (x)$ values found for each value of $x$ in order to determine the absolute maximum and minimum over the given interval. The maximum will occur at the highest $g (x)$ value and the minimum will occur at the lowest $g (x)$ value.

Absolute Maximum: $(0, 0)$

Absolute Minimum: $(25, - \frac{375}{4})$
