critical f(x)=sec(x)

critical points

f (x) = sec (x)

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solution steps

sec (x)

Find where

f^{'} (x)

is equal to zero or undefined

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Identify critical points not in

f (x)

domain

Domain of

sec (x) : 2 πn \leq x < \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn or \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < x < \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn or \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn < x < 2 π + 2 πn

sec (x)

is not defined at

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

, therefore:

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn
