Find the critical numbers of the function on the interval 0 θ < 2 π .
f ( θ ) = 2 cos ( θ ) + ( sin ( θ ) ) 2
θ = ? (smallervalue) θ = ? (larger value)

f ( θ ) = 2 cos ( θ ) + ( sin ( θ ) ) 2
f ( θ ) = 2 sin ( θ ) + 2 sin ( θ ) cos ( θ )
f ( θ ) = 2 sin ( θ ) [ 1 cos θ ]
Set f ( θ ) = 0 and solve for θ to find critical numbers
0 = 2 sin ( θ ) [ 1 cos ( θ ) ] 2 sin θ = 0 ;   1 cos θ = 0 sin θ = 0 ;   cos θ = 1 θ = 0 ;   θ = π ;   θ = 2 π
==> on the interval 0 θ < 2 π we have
θ = 0 ; θ = π
Therefore
θ = 0 Small value
θ = π Large value
