To prove that the stationary value is a maximum, we can take the second derivative test as follows.

dS/dθ = 64 (cos²θ - sin²θ - sin θ)
dS/dθ = 64 (cos 2θ - sin θ)

d²S/dθ²
= 64 (-2 sin 2θ - cos θ)
= 64 (-2 sin 2pi/6 - cos pi/6)

which is going to be a negative value, thus proving that the stationary value is a maximum.

To prove that the result is maximum, we can use the first derivative test or the second derivative test, but I won’t include them here.
