Try:
KD[f0_, a0_, b0_] := Module[{f = f0, a = a0, b = b0},
f2 = D[f, {x, 2}];
ew = Solve[D[f, x] == 0, x, Reals];
Print["Extremwerte: ", {Which[f2 > 0, "T", f2 < 0, "H", f2 == 0, "S" ], x,
f} //. ew];
Print["Extremwerte: ", {If[f2 > 0, "T", "H" ], x, f} /. ew];
]
KD[x^3 - 3 x^2, -1, 4]
Prints:
Extremwerte: {{H,0,0},{T,2,-4}}
Extremwerte: {{H,0,0},{T,2,-4}}
