    x ∈ {-0.924, 1.400, 1.624}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The local extrema of the function are nicely shown by a graphing calculator.

    ___

    If you like you can find the zeros of the derivative.

    ... f' (x) = 100x³ - 210x² - 52x + 210

    By graphing or other means, you can determine that this has a zero at x=1.4, so can be factored as ...

    ... f' (x) = 2 (5x - 7) (10x² - 7x - 15)

    The quadratic factor has roots at x = 0.35 ± √1.6225 ≈ {-0.924, 1.624}
