(2) Find the domain of the function
First, x can't be negative, for that
would involve the square root of a negative number.
Second, x can't be such that 1+2cos(x)
= 0, for that would result in division by zero.
The equation 1+2cos(x) = 0 reduces
to cos(x) = -1/2,
so we are looking out for values of x
that make cos(x) = -1/2.
Looking at the unit circle, you can see that and
make
cos(x) = -1/2.
Of course, you could add any multiple of
to these values, and still cos(x) =
-1/2,
making the denominator in f(x)
zero.
Conclusion: The domain is
(3) In this problem,
is a number between 0 and
for which .
This information says ,
so it follows that . From
this it follows that ,
so .
Then:
