Find to three decimal places the coordinate of point P lying
Find to three decimal places, the coordinate of point P lying in the 4th quadrant on the Cartesian plan such that the line tangent to the cosine function passes through the origin. X:[0,2Pi] Show all work and describe all steps.
Solution
t = cos x
tangent passing through origin
t\' = -sin x
So,
tangent y = mx+c
y = -xsinx+c
here,
(0,0) is point on tangent,
0 = -0sin0 + c
c = 0
So,
y = -xsinx is tangent.
