extreme f(x)=x+cos(x)

extreme points

f (x) = x + cos (x)

Saddle (\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn + cos (\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn))

Solution steps

Find the critical points:

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Domain of

x + cos (x) : - \infty < x < \infty

Find intervals:

Increasing

: 2 πn \leq x < \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn,

Increasing

: \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < x < 2 π + 2 πn

Plug the extreme point

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

into

x + cos (x) \Rightarrow y = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn + cos (\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn)

Saddle (\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn + cos (\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn))
