Answer

The maximum is $f(2\pi) =2\pi$ and the minimum is $f( 0 ) =0$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y=x+\sin x, \quad[0,2 \pi]$$ Since \begin{align*} \frac{dy}{dt}&=1+\cos x \end{align*} To find critical points \begin{align*} f'(t)&=0\\ 1+\cos x &=0 \end{align*} Then $x= \pi$. Because $\pi\in [0,2\pi]$, then $f(x)$ has a critical point $x=\pi$ , since \begin{align*} f(0)&=0 \\ f(\pi )&= \pi\\ f(2\pi)&=2\pi \end{align*} Then the maximum is $f(2\pi) =2\pi$ and the minimum is $f( 0 ) =0$
