I was stuck for an hour trying to do this calculus 1 problem. Think I figured it out but it's a even problm.
Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval.
f(t)=t+cot (t/2), [pie/4,7pie/4]
f'=1-(1/2) csc^2 (t/2)
So 1=1/2*csc^2 (t/2)

It's looking for the area in blue there. Now obviously the -pi/9 to 0 is one region, then 0 to pi/9 is the other, but presumably you could find the area of one then double it (which is what I tried to do) but it wasn't right.

Hi,
I'm working on this problem:

However, using the quotient rule, I got this answer:
dy/dx =[ (2sin(x)cos(x))cos^2(x) -...
Say we want to differentiate \arcsin x. To do this we put y=\arcsin x. Then x=\sin y \implies \frac{dx}{dy}= \cos y. Then we use the relation \sin^2 y + \cos^2 y = 1 \implies \cos y = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 y} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}. Therefore \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}.
