先用商法则,再把正切和正割写成正弦、余弦,通分后使用平方关系。

By the quotient rule,
dxdy=(5+2sinx)2(5+2sinx)sec2x−2cosxtanx.
Using tanx=sinx/cosx and sec2x=1/cos2x,
dxdy===cos2x(5+2sinx)25+2sinx−2sinxcos2xcos2x(5+2sinx)25+2sinx(1−cos2x)(1−sin2x)(5+2sinx)25+2sin3x.

用正弦的范围给分子估计下界,同时检查曲线定义域内分母为正。
答题过程

Since −1⩽sinx⩽1,
3⩽5+2sin3x⩽7.
Thus the numerator in (a) is never zero. On the domain of the curve, cosx=0, so 1−sin2x>0; also 5+2sinx⩾3>0.
Therefore dy/dx>0 at every point of the curve, and there are no stationary points.
