2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is combining with the chain rule?Show answer
For a function of the form , the chain rule multiplies by the derivative of the inside:
What is stationary points of a trigonometric curve?Show answer
To locate stationary points you still solve , but now the solutions are angles and there are infinitely many of them. For , gives , so for integer . Within a stated domain such as you list only the solutions that fall inside, here (a maximum) and (a minimum). Always respect the given domain and remember that periodic functions repeat their stationary points.
