I don't think there is any way other than finding roots of F'(x)=0 and checking for F"(a)<0

x=2. Take log on both sides and differentiate.

This function has no global maxima.It has a local maximum at x≈ -3.68175 where the value of this function about 561.391

It has minima at x= 2 where value of F is 0
