Replace the variable $x$ with $- 4$ in the expression.

$f (- 4) = - {(- 4)}^{3} - 11 {(- 4)}^{2} - 40 \cdot - 4 - 52$

Simplify the result.

Simplify each term.

Raise $- 4$ to the power of $3$ .

$f (- 4) = 64 - 11 {(- 4)}^{2} - 40 \cdot - 4 - 52$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 64$ .

$f (- 4) = 64 - 11 {(- 4)}^{2} - 40 \cdot - 4 - 52$

Raise $- 4$ to the power of $2$ .

$f (- 4) = 64 - 11 \cdot 16 - 40 \cdot - 4 - 52$

Multiply $- 11$ by $16$ .

$f (- 4) = 64 - 176 - 40 \cdot - 4 - 52$

Multiply $- 40$ by $- 4$ .

$f (- 4) = 64 - 176 + 160 - 52$

Simplify by adding and subtracting.

Subtract $176$ from $64$ .

$f (- 4) = - 112 + 160 - 52$

Add $- 112$ and $160$ .

$f (- 4) = 48 - 52$

Subtract $52$ from $48$ .

$f (- 4) = - 4$

The final answer is $- 4$ .

$y = - 4$

These are the local extrema for $f (x) = - x^{3} - 11 x^{2} - 40 x - 52$ .

$(- \frac{10}{3}, - \frac{104}{27})$ is a local maxima

$(- 4, - 4)$ is a local minima
