You need to find the relative extrema of the function, hence, you need to remember that the roots of the equation f'(x) = 0 are the extrema of the function.
You need to find the first derivative of the function:
f'(x) = cos x + sqrt3*sin x
You need to solve for x the equation f'(x) = 0 :
cos x + sqrt3*sin x = 0
You need to divide by cos x , both sides:
1 + sqrt 3*(sin x)/(cos x) = 0
Replace tan x for (sin x)/(cos x):
1 + sqrt 3*tan x = 0 => sqrt 3*tan x = -1 => tan x = -1/sqrt3
You need to remember that tan x is negative for x in (pi/2,pi) and x in (3pi/2,2pi).
x in (pi/2,pi) => x = pi - pi/6 => x = (5pi)/6
x in (3pi/2,2pi) => x = 2pi - pi/6 => x = (11pi)/6
Hence, the relative extrema of the function are the points ((5pi)/6 , f((5pi)/6 )) and ((11pi)/6, f((11pi)/6)).
