Answer

Since there are no critical numbers, there are no relative maxima or minima.

Steps

Step 1 :Find the derivative of the function f(x)=5sin(x)cos(x) using the product rule and chain rule.

Step 2 :The derivative is f(x)=5(cos2(x)+sin2(x)).

Step 3 :Simplify the derivative using the Pythagorean identity to get f(x)=5.

Step 4 :The critical numbers are the values of x for which f(x)=0. However, the derivative of the function is a constant and does not equal to zero for any x. Therefore, the function has no critical numbers.

Step 5 :Since the derivative of the function is a negative constant, the function is decreasing on its entire domain, which is (π,π).

Step 6 :So, f is decreasing on: (π,π).

Step 7 :Since there are no critical numbers, there are no relative maxima or minima.
