Given the function:
f(x)=x−2sinxcosx+31sin3x
We want to find the maximum value of this expression for 0≤x≤π.
Rewrite the expressio: 1: Rewrite the expression
Notice that we can rewrite the expression as:
f(x)=x−sin2x+31sin3x
Find the first derivativ: 2: Find the first derivative
Now, let's find the derivative of this expression with respect to x:
f′(x)=1−2cos2x+cos3x
Find the critical point: 3: Find the critical points
To find the critical points, we set f′(x)=0:
1−2cos2x+cos3x=0
Solve for : 4: Solve for x
This equation can be rewritten as:
(2cosx+3)(2cosx−3)(cosx−1)=0
We get three possible solutions for x:
cosx=2−3,23,1
Which gives us:
x=65π,6π,0
Find the second derivativ: 5: Find the second derivative
Now, let's find the second derivative of the expression:
f′′(x)=4sin2x−3sin3x
Analyze the critical points: Evaluate the second derivative at the critical points:
f′′(65π)=−23−3{f}\^{''}(\frac{\pi }{6})=2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}>0,indicatingalocalminimum.{f}\^{''}(0)=0,inconclusive.Evaluatethefunctionatthelocalmaximumpointandtheboundarypoints:Sincewearelookingforthemaximumvalueoff(x),wecannowevaluatethefunctionatthelocalmaximumpointandtheboundarypoints:f(\frac{5\pi }{6})=\frac{5\pi }{6}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5\pi +2+3\sqrt{3}}{6}f(0)=0f(\pi )=\pi Comparethevalues:Themaximumvalueoff(x)isgivenby
