Let y = 1+2sinx+3cos2x
Differentiate with respect to x
y' = 2cosx-6cosxsinx or 2cosx-3sin2x
put y' = 0
cosx(1-3sinx) = 0
cosx = 0, sinx = 1/3
again Diffentiate with respect to x
y'' = -2sinx-6cos2x
y'' greater than zero for cosx=0 & less than zero (negative) for sinx=1/3
hence y give maximum value at sinx=1/3
maximum value of y= 1+ 2/3+ 3*2/9=5/3
Thanks & Regards
