find the absolutemaximum and minimum values of each function on the given interval.
\[f(\theta)=\sin (\theta), -\Pi/2\le \theta \le5\Pi/6\]
Well, first off all we need to determine where the orginal function i undefined. In this case it is contious on that given interval. Now we have to obtains the derivaitve of the orginal function and determine where it is zero
Then graph the function. Identify the points on the graph where the absolute extreme occurs, and include their coordinates.
Now the derivaitve of the sinx function i cos(x). Where is this zero?
Specifically within the given interval
the zero for cos?
yes, where is cos(x) zero? In your given interval, it should b zero at , -pi/2 and pi/2
thats what i thought but in the solutions manual it says that -pi/2 is not interior to the domain.
i dont know what they mean by that
but you said, our domain is -pi/2 to 5pi/6 right?
yes
so, now, what you will have to do is evalauate each of the points we have to work with, namely, the two endpoints, -pi/2 and 5pi/6, as well as -pi/2 and pi/2
and you have to evaluate these critical numbers using the orginal function
Now the highest max, you get is your absolute maximum, and the lowest min you get is your absolute minimum. The rest are relative extrema
i know how to do everything but im just trying to figure out why i cant use -pi/2; why it says that it doesnt work because it isnt interioir to the domain
are you sure your boundaries are right, that i to say your interval
perhaps it is -pi/6
yeah im positive, thats why im so confused
hold on
it says it isnt interior to the domain which mean it is part of the domain, but not interior
Right, -pi/2 is not inside the domain, it is simply the endpoint
the problem before this one i did the same thing and i used an endpoint as well though
g(x)=\[\sqrt{4-x ^{2}} -2\le x \le 1\]
the answers should be pi/2 and -pi/2
it lets me use -2 but not 2 because it isnt in the domain
yes, but in out case we can use -pi/2 because it is an endpoint and we have to evaluate the orginal function at that value
g(x)= so what about in the other one i get a -2 as a critical point but it doesnt tell me i cant use it and its an endpoint as well
