did that work?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Find the derivative... or don't, for part a you can do it without much effort.

6cosx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just 6 i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was ridiculously easy, i guess i just don't really understand why they are both 6

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Well what's the greatest value f(b) - f(a) could be?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Think of highest and lowest values of f(x).

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Part b is not 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 was correct in both slots! i have to go to work thanks for all the help!

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Second one seems like it should be 12... 6cosx has max and min values of 6 and -6, so 6 - (-6) = 12
