Thinking about the graph of f(x), the rate of change is zero whenever there is an extremum.

First, differentiate f(x)

[tex]f'(x)=3x^2+8x[/tex]

Next, find the zeros of f'(x) by factoring.

[tex]x(3x+8)=0 \\ x= \frac{-8}{3},x=0[/tex]

Now, we substitute these x-values into the original equation to find the coordinates. 

(-2.667, 11.481), (0, 2)
