251. Find the local maxima or local minima, if any, of following functions using the first derivative test only. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum values, as the case may be:
$straight x cubed left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis squared$

Let $straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space equals space straight x cubed space left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis squared$
$therefore space space space space straight f apostrophe left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space equals space straight x cubed straight d over dx left square bracket left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis squared right square bracket space plus space left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis squared. space straight d over dx left parenthesis straight x cubed right parenthesis$
