Is there a way to do this without using the graph on my calculator?
I know that you can use Calculus to derive the values, however, I haven't taken Calc yet.

Why not graph by hand? Factor it first and see what the intercepts are.
-3x^4-x^2-20x+13. You haven't had calculus, but the first derivative is -12x^3-2x-20. The second derivative is -36x^2-2. Set each of these equal to zero and find the intercepts. Plot each one on a graph by itself and look at the min/max values on each one. Those will be the max and min values for your original equation.

we could persist with the order of operations to clean up this problem and there you bypass: a million+a million(3x4) = a million+a million(12) = a million+12 = 13 the errors some human beings make is here: a million+a million(3x4) = 2(3x4) = 2x12 = 24 you in basic terms could persist with the order or operations,because you're able to make some intense blunders there. ;D P.S.-bear in thoughts: including earlier Subtracting Multiplying earlier Dividing

f(x) has a maximum value of 29.433555...,
at x = -1.138799...
but you need calculus to find this, I think.
The minimum value is minus infinity; this happens for very large (infinite) positive and negative X.

the only way is to use derivatives
