fx sinxcosx 02pi from here I know it continues like this fx

f(x)= sinx-cosx [0,2pi]

from here I know it continues like this..

f\'(x)= cosx+sinx
f\'\'(x)=-sinx+cosx
sinx=cosx

x=pi/4, 5pi/4 <----this is the part I do not understand

Discuss the concavity of the graph of the function??

Solution

f\'(x) = cosx + sinx f\'\'(x) = -sinx + cosx point of inflection f\'\'(x) = 0 sinx = cosx in [0 to 2pi] occurs at pi/4 and 5pi/4 (because at pi/4 both sin and cos are 1/sqrt(2) and at 5pi/4 both sin and cos are -1/sqrt(2)) so x = pi/4 and 5pi/4 are point of inflections
f(x)= sinx-cosx [0,2pi] from here I know it continues like this.. f\'(x)= cosx+sinx f\'\'(x)=-sinx+cosx sinx=cosx x=pi/4, 5pi/4 <----this is the part I do no
