It's difficult for me to be sure what function you are asking about, because of the limitations of answers.com.

I am considering y = -1 + csc (x)

csc (x) = 1/sin(x) and sin is a periodic function of x.

Ignoring what happens for negative values of sin(x), csc(x) is at local minima for maximal values of sin(x), which occur at x = (2k+1/2)pi for i any integer.

Putting the -1 into -1 + csc(x) simply 'lowers' the function without changing the positions of these minima.

PS: Incidentally, using GeoGebra can be a big help in solving problems like these. Free. Easy to use.

- ln (cscx + cotx) + C You use u substitution.


How do you verify the identity sinx cscx 1?

sinx cscx = 1 is the same thing as sinx(1/sinx) = 1 which is the same as sinx/sinx = 1. This evaluates to 1=1, which is true.

How do you take the derivative of a trig function?

Trig functions have their own special derivatives that you will have to memorize. For instance: the derivative of sinx is cosx. The derivative of cosx is -sinx The derivative of tanx is sec2x The derivative of cscx is -cscxcotx The derivative of secx is secxtanx The derivative of cotx is -csc2x


How do you rewrite y equals cscx to graph it?

You could try y = 1/sin(x) but I do not see how that helps.


What is the derivative of -cscxcotx?

Using the u substitution method of derivation (selecting sinx as u and cosxdx as du), you get f'(x)=cscx.

How do you prove that the derivative of csc x is equals to -csc x cot x?

d/dx cscx = d/dx 1/sinx = d/dx (sinx)-1= -(sinx)-2 cosx = -cosx/sin2x = -1/sinx.cosx/sinx = -cscx cotx I suggest you copy this out onto paper so it is more clear. The / signs make it harder to see what is happening compared to horizontal divide lines.
