Question

Find all points (if any) of horizontal and vertical tangency to the curve. Use a graphing utility to confirm your results. (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, the from smallest to largest y. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) x = 3 + 3 sin(?), y = 2 + cos(?) horizontal tangent (x, y) = ( ) (x, y) = ( ) vertical tangent (x, y) = ( ) (x, y) = ( )

Step 1

So, we need to find the values of θ for which the tangent of θ is 0: $$\tan(\theta) = 0$$ The tangent function is 0 at integer multiples of π: $$\theta = n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z}$$ Now, we can find the corresponding x and y values for these θ values: $$x Show more…
