Given function is
h(x) = \sin x + \cos x\\ h^{'}(x)= \cos x - \sin x\\ h^{'}(x)= 0\\ \cos x - \sin x = 0\\ \cos x = \sin x\\ x = \frac{\pi}{4} \ \ \ \ \ \ as \ x \ \epsilon \ \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )
Now, we use the second derivative test
h^{''}(x)= -\sin x - \cos x\\ h^{''}(\frac{\pi}{4}) = -\sin \frac{\pi}{4} - \cos \frac{\pi}{4}\\ h^{''}(\frac{\pi}{4}) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\\ h^{''}(\frac{\pi}{4})= -\frac{2}{\sqrt2} = -\sqrt2 < 0
Hence, \frac{\pi}{4}   is the point of maxima and the maximum value is h\left ( \frac{\pi}{4} \right ) which is \sqrt2
