Detailed Solution

Given f(x)=x32x2+x3
f'(x)=3x24x+1
For absolute maxima or minima put f'(x)=0
3x24x+1=03x23xx+1=0(3x1)(x1)=0x=13 or x=1
Clearly,the critical point of f(x)in [0,2] is x=1/3 or 1
Now, f(0)=3,f(13)=77272.851
f(1)=3,f(2)=1
Therefore absolute minimum value i.e m=-3 
and absolute maximum value i.e M=-1
Now, M+m=-1-3=-4
