what minimum value of   y = sin x+cosec x+2

$${what}\:{minimum}\:{value}\:{of}\: \\ $$$${y}\:=\:\mathrm{sin}\:{x}+\mathrm{cosec}\:{x}+\mathrm{2}\: \\ $$

let sin x=t  y=t +(1/t)+2  (dy/dt)=1−(1/t^2 ) = 0⇒ (((t−1)(t+1))/t^2 )=0  (d^2 y/dt^2 )= (2/t^3 )>0 for t = 1   minimum is y = 1+1+2 = 4

$${let}\:\mathrm{sin}\:{x}={t} \\ $$$${y}={t}\:+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}=\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\:\frac{\left({t}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({t}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {y}}{{dt}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\:\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} }>\mathrm{0}\:{for}\:{t}\:=\:\mathrm{1}\: \\ $$$${minimum}\:{is}\:{y}\:=\:\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{4} \\ $$

no maximum and no minimum sir!  example:  x→0^+ : y→+∞  x→0^− : y→−∞  in fact: y∈[4,+∞)∧(−∞,0]

$${no}\:{maximum}\:{and}\:{no}\:{minimum}\:{sir}! \\ $$$${example}: \\ $$$${x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}^{+} :\:{y}\rightarrow+\infty \\ $$$${x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}^{−} :\:{y}\rightarrow−\infty \\ $$$${in}\:{fact}:\:{y}\in\left[\mathrm{4},+\infty\right)\wedge\left(−\infty,\mathrm{0}\right] \\ $$

sir, if range of function   4≤y<∞ ∧ −∞<y≤0 then the  minimum value is 4?

$${sir},\:{if}\:{range}\:{of}\:{function}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}\leqslant{y}<\infty\:\wedge\:−\infty<{y}\leqslant\mathrm{0}\:{then}\:{the} \\ $$$${minimum}\:{value}\:{is}\:\mathrm{4}? \\ $$

minimum value at x = (π/2) ?

$${minimum}\:{value}\:{at}\:{x}\:=\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\:? \\ $$

no!   in this case the function has a local  minimum 4 and a local maximum 0.  what we get from (dy/dx)=0 is at first   only a local minimum or a local  maximum.

$${no}!\: \\ $$$${in}\:{this}\:{case}\:{the}\:{function}\:{has}\:{a}\:{local} \\ $$$${minimum}\:\mathrm{4}\:{and}\:{a}\:{local}\:{maximum}\:\mathrm{0}. \\ $$$${what}\:{we}\:{get}\:{from}\:\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\mathrm{0}\:{is}\:{at}\:{first}\: \\ $$$${only}\:{a}\:{local}\:{minimum}\:{or}\:{a}\:{local} \\ $$$${maximum}. \\ $$
