Given the function:


f(x)=sinx+1

Let's find the minimum and maximum values over the interval [0, 2π].

Let's first find the derivative of the function:


f^(\prime)(x)=cosx

Now set the derivative to 0 and solve for x:


\begin{gathered} cosx=0 \\ \\ \text{ Take the inverse cosine of both sides:} \\ x=cos^(-1)(0) \\ \\ x=(\pi)/(2) \end{gathered}

The cosine function is positive in quadrants I and IV, to find the reference angle(minimum), subtract the first solution from 2π:


\begin{gathered} x=2\pi-(\pi)/(2) \\ \\ x=(2(2\pi)-\pi)/(2) \\ \\ x=(4\pi-\pi)/(2) \\ \\ x=(3\pi)/(2) \end{gathered}

Plug in the values in the function to determine the minimum and maximum:


\begin{gathered} f((\pi)/(2))=sin((\pi)/(2))+1=1+1=2 \\ \\ \\ f((3\pi)/(2))=sin((3\pi)/(2))+1=-1+1=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore, we have the following:

Minimum occurs at: x = 3π/2

Maximum occurs at: x = π/2
