(a) $\sin x + \cos x = 0 \Rightarrow \sin x = -\cos x \Rightarrow \tan x = -1 \Rightarrow x = \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}$. Follow a similar approach to find the other two critical points.
(c) Be sure to include the endpoints as local extrema. Local max at $x = 0$, for example. |
44. | This exercise has a result very similar to #43. One critical point that is both a local and global minimum. |
50. | There are two critical points. Two local maximums, and one endpoint maximum. An absolute maximum that occurs at two locations. |
58. | There are two critical points and two endpoints. Absolute extrema must exist because the function is continuous on a closed and bounded domain (Extreme Value Theorem). |
