Find the absolute extrema of the following function on the given interval

h(x)=xx−2h(x) = \frac{x}{x - 2} , [3,5][3, 5]

To find the absolute extrema of a function on a given interval, first find its derivative and determine the critical points within the interval. Then, evaluate the function at these critical points and at the endpoints of the interval. The highest and lowest values among these are the absolute maximum and minimum.
