Question Number 4420 by ankitbhawarkar333gmail.com last updated on 24/Jan/16

Answered by Yozzii last updated on 24/Jan/16

f(x)=sin3x−3sinx  f^′ (x)=3cos3x−3cosx  ∴ f^′ (π/2)=3cos((3π)/2)−3cos(π/2)=0.  Since f^′ (x)=0 at x=π/2, we have  the existence of a stationary point at  x=π/2.  f^(′′) (x)=−9sin3x+3sinx  ∴ f^(′′) (π/2)=−9sin((3π)/2)+3sin(π/2)  f^(′′) (π/2)=9+3=12>0.  Since f^(′′) (x)>0 and f^′ (x)=0 at x=π/2,  there exists a local minimum value  of f(x) at x=π/2.
