The maximum value of the function is 2.25
The minimum value of the function is -0.25
On the interval {0, π/2} the function is increasing
The range of the function is -0.25 ≤ y ≤ 2.25
How to find the minimum and maximum values
The maximum value of the function is sought by tracing the peak of the curve. At this point, we trace to the y-coordinate to find the value. Doing this traces, we arrive at 2.25
Similarly, the crest of the curve is traced in a similar way to get the minimum value which is -0.25
The range of the function is this minimum and maximum value
