Solution

Given function is, h(x)=sinx+cosx,0<x<π2
h(x)=cosxsinx and h"(x)=sinxcosx
For maxima or minima put h'(x)=0
sinx=cosxsinxcosx=1tanx=1x=π4ϵ(0,π2)
At x=π4,h"(π4)=sinπ4cosπ4=sinπ4cosπ4=1212=22=2<0
Therefore, by second derivative test x=π4 is a point of local maxima and the local maximum value of h at x=π4 is
h(π4)=sinπ4+cosπ4=12+12=22=2
