have you differentiated it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nop
OpenStudy (anonymous):
diff the denominator!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well to find the min you have to differentiate it once; to find x; then differentiate it again to determine if its min. or max.
why not you try and differentiate it ?>
OpenStudy (experimentx):
maximize this value
(2sinx - 2sqrt3 cosx)

\[\large\text{Keep it in your mind}\]
\[-\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\le a\sin x+b\cos x\le\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\]

wat is this!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
as Exper said u need to maximize (2sinx - 2sqrt3 cosx) is that right?
OpenStudy (experimentx):
this is pretty old trick ... and very useful one!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah...

sin is max at 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i have to subs that value here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
r u there guys!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes yahoo u want to maximize (2sinx - 2sqrt3 cosx) according to the formula i gave u...here \(a=2\) and \(b=-2\sqrt{3}\)
