First you need to draw graph for max (sinx, cosx ) as follows
Draw combined graphs of both sinx and cos x so that at some places graph of sin x will be higher and at other cosx will higher.
Take only the higher portion of graph and mark it bold. This will give you the graph of  f(x)=max(sinx,cosx).
Critical points are points on graph where the derivative is 0 or undefined.
Now you can easily check the points which are high or low (critical points). The number of such points comes out to be 7
