We find our first derivative F prime of Theta equal negative
sine Theta, so 0 equal negative sine Theta.
If we divide each side by negative, we would just get 0
equaling sine Theta and that occurs at -2π and negative π
given our original domain of -2π less than or equal to Theta less
than or equal to -3 Pi force.
So if we put -2π, negative π and -3 Pi force on a number line, if
we evaluate something in between negative π and -3 Pi force like
-5 Pi 6, putting it into the first derivative sign of -5 Pi 6
is a negative number, and then the opposite of a negative makes
it positive.
So in between negative π and -3 Pi force is going to be
positive.
In between -2π and negative π, if we chose something like -3 Pi
halves, the sign of -3 Pi halves is positive.
A positive times a negative is a negative, so in that interval
it's going to be negative.
The original function therefore, is decreasing from -2π to
negative π and increasing from negative π to -3 Pi force.
To figure out the absolute Max and mins, we actually have to
find our Y values.
But we know we're decreasing and then we're increasing.
So we know there's a local min at negative π, and we know that
there's local maxes at -2π and -3 Pi force.
What we're not certain yet is which ones are the absolutes.
So going back to the original function, we find the cosine
Theta of -2π negative π and -3 Pi force.
The absolute Max is the highest Y value, the absolute min is the
lowest Y value, and then the other one that remains has to be
a local Max.
