STEP 1

1. The function f f is differentiable on the interval 0<xπ 0 < x \leq \pi .
2. f f is increasing where its derivative f(x) f'(x) is positive.
3. We need to analyze the sign of f(x)=sinx+xcosx f'(x) = \sin x + x \cos x over the given intervals.

STEP 2

1. Analyze the expression f(x)=sinx+xcosx f'(x) = \sin x + x \cos x .
2. Determine where f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 .
3. Evaluate the sign of f(x) f'(x) over the given intervals.
4. Identify the interval(s) where f f is increasing.

STEP 3

The expression for the derivative is given as:
f(x)=sinx+xcosx f'(x) = \sin x + x \cos x

STEP 4

To determine where f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 , we need to solve:
sinx+xcosx>0 \sin x + x \cos x > 0
This inequality will help us find where the function f f is increasing.

STEP 5

We will analyze f(x) f'(x) at critical points and endpoints of the intervals. First, check the endpoints x=0 x = 0 and x=π x = \pi :
- At x=0 x = 0 : f(0)=sin(0)+0cos(0)=0 f'(0) = \sin(0) + 0 \cdot \cos(0) = 0
- At x=π x = \pi : f(π)=sin(π)+πcos(π)=0π=π f'(\pi) = \sin(\pi) + \pi \cdot \cos(\pi) = 0 - \pi = -\pi

STEP 6

Next, we need to evaluate f(x) f'(x) at the critical points within the intervals, particularly around x=1.077 x = 1.077 and x=2.029 x = 2.029 :
- At x=1.077 x = 1.077 : Calculate f(1.077)=sin(1.077)+1.077cos(1.077) f'(1.077) = \sin(1.077) + 1.077 \cdot \cos(1.077) and check if it is positive.
- At x=2.029 x = 2.029 : Calculate f(2.029)=sin(2.029)+2.029cos(2.029) f'(2.029) = \sin(2.029) + 2.029 \cdot \cos(2.029) and check if it is positive.

STEP 7

Evaluate the sign of f(x) f'(x) over the intervals:
- For [0,1.077] [0, 1.077] , check if f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 for all x x in this interval. - For [0,2.029] [0, 2.029] , check if f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 for all x x in this interval. - For [2.029,π] [2.029, \pi] , check if f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 for all x x in this interval.

STEP 8

Based on the evaluations, identify the interval(s) where f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 and thus f f is increasing.
- If f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 on [0,1.077] [0, 1.077] , then f f is increasing on this interval. - If f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 on [0,2.029] [0, 2.029] , then f f is increasing on this interval. - If f(x)>0 f'(x) > 0 on [2.029,π] [2.029, \pi] , then f f is increasing on this interval.
The correct interval where f f is increasing is [0,2.029] \boxed{[0, 2.029]} .
