Rate of Change Determine whether there exist any values of \(x\) in the interval \([0,2 \pi)\) such that the rate of change of \(f(x)=\sec x\) and the rate of change of \(g(x)=\csc x\) are equal.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The values of \(x\) in the interval \( [0,2 \pi) \) such that the rate of change of \(f(x)=sec x\) and the rate of change of \(g(x)=csc x\) are equal are \(x = \frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(x = \frac{3\pi}{4}\).

Step by step solution

01

Find the derivative of f(x)

The derivative of \(f(x) = sec(x)\) is \(f'(x) = sec(x)tan(x)\). This is the rate of change of \(f(x)\).
02

Take the derivative of g(x)

The derivative of \(g(x) = csc(x)\) is \(g'(x) = -csc(x)cot(x)\). This is the rate of change of \(g(x)\).
03

Set the derivatives equal

Next, we set \(f'(x) = g'(x)\), thereby getting the equation \(sec(x)tan(x) = -csc(x)cot(x)\). This allows us to solve for the common values of \(x\) in the given interval.
04

Solve the equation

Using properties of trigonometric functions, this equation simplifies to \(-tan^2(x) -1 = 0\). Solving this equation, we find \(x = \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}\). However, only \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(\frac{3\pi}{4}\) lie in the interval \([0,2\pi)\), so these are the solutions.

True or False? In Exercises \(87-92,\) determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. $$ g(x)=3 f(x), \text { then } g^{\prime}(x)=3 f^{\prime}(x) $$

Roadway Design Cars on a certain roadway travel on a circular arc of radius \(r .\) In order not to rely on friction alone to overcome the centrifugal force, the road is banked at an angle of magnitude \(\theta\) from the horizontal (see figure). The banking angle must satisfy the equation \(r g \tan \theta=v^{2},\) where \(v\) is the velocity of the cars and \(g=32\) feet per second per second is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the relationship between the related rates \(d v / d t\) and \(d \theta / d t\) .
