[2 marks]

$\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = {{\text{e}}^x}(\sin x + \cos x) + {{\text{e}}^x}(\cos x - \sin x)$ M1A1

$= 2{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x$ AG

$\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}} = {{\text{e}}^{\frac{{3\pi }}{4}}}\left( {\sin \frac{{3\pi }}{4} + \cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right) = 0$ R1

$\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = 2{{\text{e}}^{\frac{{3\pi }}{4}}}\cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4} < 0$ R1

hence maximum at $x = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$ AG

$\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = 0 \Rightarrow 2{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x = 0$ M1
