Answer

The curve, observing from left to right, - Starts at an absolute minimum at $(0,0)$ - rises on $(0,\pi)$ , concave down, - at $(\pi,\pi)$ changes concavity to "up" (inflection point), - continues rising to an absolute maximum at $(2\pi,2,\pi).$

Work Step by Step

$y=f(x)=x+\sin x,\qquad x\in[0,2\pi]$ $f'(x)=1+\cos x$ - never negative ($-1\leq\cos x\leq 1)$, so $f$ rises on $[0,2\pi]$ $f''(x)=-\sin x$ On $(0,2\pi)$ $f''(x)=0$ for $ x=\pi\qquad$... point of inflection. $\left[\begin{array}{llll} y'': & -- & | & ++\\ & & \pi & \\ y: & \cap & i.p. & \cup \end{array}\right]\left\{\begin{array}{l} f(0)=0\\ f(\pi)=\pi\\ f(2\pi)=2\pi \end{array}\right.$ With these data, describe the flow of the graph (given in the answer).
