We'll start with finding the first derivative, and that's going to allow us to find the inflection, excuse me, to find the local min and max, and where the function is increasing and decreasing.
00:19
So i know the derivative of sine x is cosine x.
00:24
Derivative of cosine x is negative sinex.
00:30
So end up with three cosine x minus three sinex.
00:35
Now to find these critical points, we're going to set the function equal to zero.
00:41
I'm going to start by adding sine on both sides.
00:53
Then i'm going to use my trig ratios.
00:57
So i'm going to divide both sides by 3 sine x.
01:00
And that's going to give me cosine x over sinex equals 1.
01:07
Now i know that cosine x over sine x is just tangent x.
01:12
So i have tangent x equals 1.
01:13
I'll take the circle, excuse me, the inverse, and get x equals pi over four and five pi over four.
01:25
Those are going to be our two critical points.
01:27
Now we need to think about the science that we get when we plug that into our original function.
01:46
So i'm going to choose values on either sides of these.
01:48
I'm just going to choose zero, pi, and two pi...
