Find the maximum and minimum values of x + sin 2x on [0, 2π].
It is given that f (x) = x + sin 2x, x ∈ [0, 2π]
f’(x) = 1+ 2cos2x
Now, f’(x) = 0

2x = 2π � 
, n ϵ Z
⇒ x = nπ � 
, n ϵ Z

Now, we evaluate the value of f at critical point 
 and at end points of the interval [0, 2π]


f’(0) = 0 + sin 0 = 0
f’(2π) = 2π + sin 4π = 2π + 0 = 2π
Therefore, we have the absolute maximum value of f on [0, 2π] is 2π occurring at
x = 2π and absolute minimum value of f(x) in the interval [0, 2π] is 0 occuring at x = 0.
