I hope that you know how to find the extrema and minima
(If you don't, tell us)
first derivative is:$\displaystyle 5-e^x$
critical point is $\displaystyle ln5$
second derivative is :$\displaystyle -e^x$
value of second derivative at critical point is $\displaystyle -5< 0$
hence it is a maxima(at ln5)
