5 In this question you must show detailed reasoning. The function f is defined by \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \cos x + \sqrt { 3 } \sin x\) with domain \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2 \pi\).
  1. Solve the following equations.
    1. \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 0\)
    2. \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime \prime } ( x ) = 0\) The diagram shows the graph of the gradient function \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x )\) for the domain \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2 \pi\).

  2. Use your answers to parts (a)(i) and (a)(ii) to find the coordinates of points \(A , B , C\) and \(D\).
    1. Explain how to use the graph of the gradient function to find the values of \(x\) for which \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is increasing.
    2. Using set notation, write down the set of values of \(x\) for which \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is increasing in the domain \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2 \pi\).
