Answer:

\{\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4},\frac{5\pi}{4},\frac{7\pi}{4}\}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the values between the interval (0, 2π) where the tangent line to the graph of y=sin(x)cos(x) is horizontal.

Since the tangent line is horizontal, this means that our derivative at those points are 0.

So, first, let's find the derivative of our function.

y=\sin(x)\cos(x)

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x:

\frac{d}{dx}[y]=\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(x)\cos(x)]

We need to use the product rule:

(uv)'=u'v+uv'

So, differentiate:

y'=\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(x)]\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(x)]

Evaluate:

y'=(\cos(x))(\cos(x))+\sin(x)(-\sin(x))

Simplify:

y'=\cos^2(x)-\sin^2(x)

Since our tangent line is horizontal, the slope is 0. So, substitute 0 for y':

0=\cos^2(x)-\sin^2(x)

Now, let's solve for x. First, we can use the difference of two squares to obtain:

0=(\cos(x)-\sin(x))(\cos(x)+\sin(x))

Zero Product Property:

0=\cos(x)-\sin(x)\text{ or } 0=\cos(x)+\sin(x)

Solve for each case.

Case 1:

0=\cos(x)-\sin(x)

Add sin(x) to both sides:

\cos(x)=\sin(x)

To solve this, we can use the unit circle.

Recall at what points cosine equals sine.

This only happens twice: at π/4 (45°) and at 5π/4 (225°).

At both of these points, both cosine and sine equals √2/2 and -√2/2.

And between the intervals 0 and 2π, these are the only two times that happens.

Case II:

We have:

0=\cos(x)+\sin(x)

Subtract sine from both sides:

\cos(x)=-\sin(x)

Again, we can use the unit circle. Recall when cosine is the opposite of sine.

Like the previous one, this also happens at the 45°. However, this times, it happens at 3π/4 and 7π/4.

At 3π/4, cosine is -√2/2, and sine is √2/2. If we divide by a negative, we will see that cos(x)=-sin(x).

At 7π/4, cosine is √2/2, and sine is -√2/2, thus making our equation true.

Therefore, our solution set is:

\{\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4},\frac{5\pi}{4},\frac{7\pi}{4}\}

And we're done!

Edit: Small Mistake :)

ASAP! Question 3: The following data give the weights (in pounds) lost by 15 members of a health club at the end of 2 months aft
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

First arrange the data in an order

3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 10, 10, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 21

a.) Q1 = (N + 1)/4th item = (15 + 1)/4 = 4th item = 7

Q2 = 2(16)/4 = 16/2 = 8th item = 12

Q3 = 3(16)/4 = 3(4) = 12th item = 17

IQR = (Q3 - Q1)/2 = (17 - 7)/2 = 10/2 = 5

b.) 82nd percentile = 82(16)/100 = 13th item = 17

c.) 12 is the 8th item which is in the middle of the data set, so the percentile rank is 50%
