Transcript text: On the graph of $f(x)=\sin x$ and the interval $[2 \pi, 4 \pi)$, for what value of $x$ does $f(x)$ achieve a maximum? Choose your answer using the draggable point on the graph below.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the maximum value of f(x) within the given interval
The graph shows that the sine function reaches a maximum value of 1 at x = 5π/2 within the interval [2π, 4π).
Step 2: Convert the interval endpoints to numerical values
2π ≈ 6.28
4π ≈ 12.57
Step 3: Convert 5π/2 to a numerical value
5π/2 ≈ 7.85
Final Answer: The value of x where f(x) achieves its maximum is 5π/2.
