Step-by-step solution
4 stepsDetermine the coordinates of A and B.
Points A and B are the x-intercepts of the function . At x-intercepts, .
This occurs when for any integer .
From the graph, A is the first x-intercept to the left of the origin, so , which gives .
B is the first x-intercept to the right of the origin, so , which gives .
The coordinates are:
A:
B:Determine the coordinates of C and D.
Point C is a local maximum of . The maximum value of is 2.
This occurs when .From the graph, C is the first maximum in the positive x-axis, so , which gives .
Point D is a local minimum of . The minimum value of is -2.
This occurs when .From the graph, D is the first minimum in the negative x-axis, so , which gives .
The coordinates are:
C:
D:Determine the values of and .
The function is .
From the graph, the vertical asymptotes of are at and .
For a tangent function, vertical asymptotes occur when the argument is .
So, .
Using :Now, use point C , which lies on . Substitute , , and into :
Since :
The values are:
Determine the values of for which if .
We need to solve for .
Divide by 2:Use the identities and :
For , both and .
Multiply both sides by (which is positive, so the inequality direction remains the same):Divide both sides by (which is positive, so the inequality direction remains the same):
Since in the interval , take the positive square root:
We know that . Since is a decreasing function in the interval , for to be greater than , must be less than .
Also, at , and , so .
At , and , so .
Therefore, the inequality holds for values strictly between and .
The values of are:
