Answer

Stationary points $(1+2 k) \frac{\pi}{2}=x$ where $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ Critical Points $(1+2 k) \frac{\pi}{2}=x$ where $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $x=0$

Work Step by Step

When $x<0 ; f(x)=\sin (-x)=-\sin x$ When $x>0 ; f(x)=\sin x$ Let $f_{1}(x)=\sin x ; f_{2}(x)=-\sin x$ $f_{1}^{\prime}(x)=\cos x ; f_{2}^{\prime}(x)=-\cos x$ Thus in $x>0,and \ \cos x=0$ at $(-1+2 k) \frac{\pi}{2}$ where $k \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$ In $x<0; finally, \ -\cos x=0$ at $(1+2 k) \frac{\pi}{2}$ where $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ When we combine these results and generalize for all the values of $x$ , we have that the and stationary points of the function are $x=(1+2 k) \frac{\pi}{2}$ where $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ The critical points also include the value of $x$ where the function is not differentiable. $x=0$
