Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of the function f given by
straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space equals sin squared straight x minus cosx comma space straight x space element of space left parenthesis 0 comma space straight pi right parenthesis

Solution
straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space equals space sin squared straight x minus cosx comma
straight f apostrophe left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals 2 sinx. cosx space plus space sinx
equals space sin space straight x left parenthesis 2 cosx plus 1 right parenthesis
Equating space straight f apostrophe left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space to space zero.
straight f apostrophe left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space equals space 0
sinx left parenthesis 2 cosx plus 1 right parenthesis space equals space 0
sinx space equals space 0
therefore space straight x space equals space 0 comma space straight pi
2 cosx plus 1 space equals 0
rightwards double arrow cosx space equals space minus 1 half
therefore straight x space equals space fraction numerator 5 straight pi over denominator 6 end fraction
straight f left parenthesis 0 right parenthesis space equals space sin squared 0 minus cos 0 equals space minus 1
straight f open parentheses fraction numerator 5 straight pi over denominator 6 end fraction close parentheses equals sin squared open parentheses fraction numerator 5 straight pi over denominator 6 end fraction close parentheses minus cos open parentheses fraction numerator 5 straight pi over denominator 6 end fraction close parentheses
equals sin squared straight pi over 6 plus cos straight pi over 6
equals 1 fourth minus fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction
equals open parentheses fraction numerator 1 minus 2 square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction close parentheses
straight f left parenthesis straight pi right parenthesis equals sin squared straight pi minus cosπ space equals 1
Of these values, the maximum value is 1, and the minimum value is −1.
Thus, the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f(x) are 1 and −1, which it attains at x = 0 and straight x equals straight pi
