Class 12 Maths · Applications Of Derivatives · Very Long Answer #103

Find all local extrema of f(x)=sin x−cos x on 0<x<2π, including their values.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Local maximum √2 at 3π/4; local minimum −√2 at 7π/4.
  1. f′=cos x+sin x.
  2. Solving f′=0 in (0,2π) gives x=3π/4 and 7π/4.
  3. f″=−sin x+cos x=−f(x). At 3π/4 it is −√2<0, giving a local maximum.
  4. At 7π/4, f″=√2>0, giving a local minimum.
  5. The local maximum is f(3π/4)=√2; the local minimum is f(7π/4)=−√2.
