Too bad you didn't show your work...
f' = 1 + 2cosx
f'=0 when cosx = -1/2
x = 2?/3, 4?/3
f" = -2sinx
f"(2?/3) < 0, so that is a maximum
f"(4?/3) > 0, so that is a minimum
See the graph at

Consider the function on the interval
(0, 2π).
f(x) = x + 2 sin x
relative maximum (x, y) =
relative minimum (x, y) =
From when I worked out using the first derivative test, I ended up with (2π, 0) for the max and (0,0) for the min. Apparently this isn't correct.
