Answer

Therefore, the minimum value of the function is \(\boxed{2}\) and the maximum value of the function is \(\boxed{89}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Find the derivative of the function \(y=3x^2-6x+5\), which is \(y'=6x-6\).

Step 2 :Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: \(6x-6=0\).

Step 3 :Solve for x to get the critical point: \(x=1\).

Step 4 :Evaluate the function at the critical point and at the endpoints of the interval [0,6]: \(y(0)=5\), \(y(1)=2\), and \(y(6)=89\).

Step 5 :The minimum value of the function on the interval [0,6] is 2 and the maximum value is 89.

Step 6 :Check that these results meet the requirements of the problem. The minimum and maximum values are indeed on the interval [0,6], and the function is defined and continuous on this interval.

Step 7 :Therefore, the minimum value of the function is \(\boxed{2}\) and the maximum value of the function is \(\boxed{89}\).
