Guys Can anyone help me in this? I need a function (cos or sin) maximum at 7Pi/4 and at the same time changes sign under phi->phi+Pi with 0< phi< 2Pi...Thank you
The maximum of a function represents the highest point on the graph of the function, where the output value is the largest.
To find the maximum of a function, you can use calculus techniques such as taking the derivative and setting it equal to zero, or finding the critical points and evaluating the function at those points.
The change of sign of a function indicates a change in the direction of the graph, from increasing to decreasing or vice versa. It can also represent a change in the nature of the function, such as from concave up to concave down or vice versa.
To determine the change of sign of a function, you can analyze the intervals where the function is positive and negative, or use the intermediate value theorem to find where the function crosses the x-axis.
Yes, a function can have multiple maximum points if the graph has multiple humps or peaks. In this case, each maximum point would represent a local maximum, as opposed to a global maximum which is the absolute highest point on the graph.
