Answer:

6π ≈ 18.8495559215

Explanation:

You want to know the absolute maximum of f(x) = 3x +sin(3x) on the interval [0, 2π].

Slope

The function is monotonically increasing on the interval, so has its maximum at the right end of the interval:

Fmax = f(2π) = 3(2π) +sin(3(2π)) = 6π +0

Fmax = 6π ≈ 18.8495559215

__

Additional comment

The minimum slope of sin(3x) is the minimum of -3cos(3x), which is -3. This is perfectly balanced by the added 3x term in f(x), so the minimum slope of f(x) is 0 where 3x is an odd multiple of π. Then f(x) is increasing everywhere except at those points where the slope is 0. The graph shows this.
