The function f is defined by

x2+sin(x),0x2π

Find, and determine the nature of, the turning points of the curve

y=f(x)

To locate the turning points, solve dydx=0


Make sure to use the second derivative test when determining the nature of the turning points.


As a fully simplified surd, the y coordinate of the minimum point is

aπbbc,a,b,cN

Give the value of abc
