f'(x) = -sinx-1

f'(x)=0

-sinx-1=0

-sinx=1

sinx=-1

x=sin^-1 1

x= -pi/2

 

-pi/2 isnt in [pi/2 , 2pi]

 

what should i do to find the value?

I'm sorry.

 

**Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of f(x)=cos(x)-x on [pi/2 , 2pi]

 

f'(x) = -sinx-1

f'(x)=0

-sinx-1=0

-sinx=1

sinx=-1

x=sin^-1 1

x= -pi/2

 

-pi/2 isnt on [pi/2 , 2pi]

Note that   sin (3 pi/ 2)  = -1      and 3pi/2  lies in the requested interval

Your question does not make sense to me

For instance:

How can   

f'(x) = -sinx-1

and

f'(x)=0

both at the same time?

that would only happen for x=-pi/2  (plus n revolutions where n is an integer)

 

Edit: I wrote this before you edited your question.

I do not know if it makes more sense now or not because I have not looked:/

3 pi / 2      lies exactly   between  pi  and 2pi

 

pi  =  180°    and  2pi  =  360°    so    3pi/2  =  270°

 

Is this what you are asking???
