How do I find the maximum and minimum of a function in a given domain?

I'm trying to find the max and min of a function over a function, but I can't seem to figure out how. My equation is y = (1*x^4)/4+(4*x^3)/3- 5*(x^2)/2 over -3<=x<=3. I tried doing min(y) and max(y) but it's not working. Does anybody know how to find the max and min???

Other than editing away most of your question, what else have you done? Did you like any of the Answers below?

You need a function like fminbnd:
y =@(x) (1*x.^4)/4+(4*x.^3)/3- 5*(x.^2)/2;
x_min = fminbnd(y,-3,3)
Let's confirm this with a plot:
fplot(y,[-3 3])

Try this:
x = linspace(-3, 3, 1000);
y = (1*x.^4)/4+(4*x.^3)/3- 5*(x.^2)/2;
plot(x, y, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
% Find where min is
[yMin, indexOfMin] = min(y);
fprintf('Min of y at x = %f, y = %f.\n', x(indexOfMin), min(y));
You get
Min of y at x = -3.000000, y = -38.250000.
Is that what you were looking for?

syms x
y = (1*x.^4)/4+(4*x.^3)/3- 5*(x.^2)/2
LB = -3; UB = 3;
xcrit = solve(diff(y, x),x)
xcrit(xcrit < LB | xcrit > UB) = [];
xcrit = unique([xcrit; LB; UB])
ycrit = subs(y,x,xcrit)
[miny, minidx] = min(ycrit)
[maxy, maxidx] = max(ycrit)
fprintf('minimum is %g at %g\n', miny, xcrit(minidx))
fprintf('maximum is %g at %g\n', maxy, xcrit(maxidx))
