(In this course, the value of 9c in a trigonometric function such as sinx should
always be treated as a value in radians.)
(a) What is the value of the function at ct = g? (i
(b) For what values of 9c is sinx positive? (Z
(c) What is the domain of f? (i
(Hint: Try plotting the function using a computer or graphics calculator.)
(d) Find the derivative of (i
(Hint: Use logarithm laws to simplify f before differentiating it.)
(e) What is the domain of f’? (i
(f) Find the equation for the tangent and normal line to the curve at ac = (i
