Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \sec{\left(x \right)}}{4 \left(\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}} = 0$$

Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$\sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1} = \sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1}$$
- Yes
$$\sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1} = - \sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1}$$
- No
so, the function
is
even
So, check:
$$\sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1} = \sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1}$$
- Yes
$$\sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1} = - \sqrt[4]{\sec{\left(x \right)} + 1}$$
- No
so, the function
is
even
