Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(y=|\cos x|+|\sin x|\) At \(x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}, \cos x\) is negative and \(\sin x\) is positive. \(\therefore \quad y=-\cos x+\sin x\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\sin x+\cos x\)…
