Question

Basic Math

f(x) = 10/cos-1(x). Use calculus to determine:

a) all critical values

b) any local extrema

c) any absolute extrema

d) the intervals where f is increasing/decreasing

e) any points of inflection rounded to the thousandths place

f) intervals where f is concave up/down

No interval was specified so I assumed 0

also I didn't get any concavity not sure if I'm right ornot.

I got x= pi as the critical value as well as the relative andabsolute minimum extrema.

would greatly appreciate some help

Interval must be taken as as arccosx or inverse of cosx is defined in domain11with range 0 pias we can not have 0 in denomiantor therefore x can not beequal to 1    See Answer
