Take the derivative with respect to t
the maximum and minimum values occur when the tangent line is zero so we set the derivative to zero
divide by w
we add sin(wt) to both sides
divide both sides by cos(wt)
OR
(wt)=2(n*pi-arctan(2^0.5))
(wt)=2(n*pi+arctan(2^-0.5))
where n is an integer
the absolute max and min will be
since 2npi is just the period of cos
substituting our second soultion we get
since 2npi is the period
so the maximum value =
minimum value =
