To show that the function f(x)=−x2+sin⁡xf(x) = -\frac{x}{2} + \sin x is strictly increasing on the interval (−π3,π3)\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right), we need to find its first derivative f′(x)f'(x) and show that f′(x)>0f'(x) > 0 for all xx in this interval.

  1. Find the derivative of the given function.

    f(x)=−x2+sin⁡xf(x) = -\frac{x}{2} + \sin x

    Differentiating with respect to xx:

    f′(x)=ddx(−x2+sin⁡x)f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(-\frac{x}{2} + \sin x\right) f′(x)=−12+cos⁡xf'(x) = -\frac{1}{2} + \cos x
  2. Determine the range of cos⁡x\cos x in the given interval.

    The interval is (−π3,π3)\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right).
    We know that cos⁡x\cos x is an even function, and its value at the endpoints is cos⁡(−π3)=cos⁡(π3)=12\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2}.
    At x=0x=0, cos⁡(0)=1\cos(0) = 1.
    For x∈(−π3,π3)x \in \left(-\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right), the value of cos⁡x\cos x ranges from just above 12\frac{1}{2} up to 1 (inclusive of 1).
    Thus, we have 12<cos⁡x≤1\frac{1}{2} < \cos x \le 1.

  3. Analyze the sign of f′(x)f'(x).

    f′(x)=−12+cos⁡xf'(x) = -\frac{1}{2} + \cos x

    Using the inequality for cos⁡x\cos x from Step 2, we add −12-\frac{1}{2} to all parts of the inequality:

    12−12<−12+cos⁡x≤1−12\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} < -\frac{1}{2} + \cos x \le 1 - \frac{1}{2} 0<f′(x)≤120 < f'(x) \le \frac{1}{2}

    Since 0<f′(x)≤120 < f'(x) \le \frac{1}{2}, it implies that f′(x)f'(x) is always greater than 0 for all xx in the interval (−π3,π3)\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right).

    Therefore, the function f(x)=−x2+sin⁡xf(x) = -\frac{x}{2} + \sin x is strictly increasing on the interval (−π3,π3)\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right).
