extreme f(x)=cos^2(x)

extreme points

f (x) = cos^{2} (x)

Maximum (πn, 1), Minimum (\frac{π}{2} + πn, 0)

Solution steps

Find the critical points:

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Domain of

cos^{2} (x) : - \infty < x < \infty

Find intervals:

Decreasing

: πn < x < \frac{π}{2} + πn,

Increasing

: \frac{π}{2} + πn < x < π + πn

Plug the extreme point

x = πn

into

cos^{2} (x) \Rightarrow y = 1

Maximum (πn, 1)

Plug the extreme point

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

into

cos^{2} (x) \Rightarrow y = 0

Minimum (\frac{π}{2} + πn, 0)

Maximum (πn, 1), Minimum (\frac{π}{2} + πn, 0)
