Max. and min. value

-1 ≦sinx ≦1
-2 ≦ sinx - 1 ≦ 0

-1 ≦cosx ≦1
1≦cosx + 2≦3

Max. value = 上max / 下min = 0 / 1 = 0
Min. value = 上min / 下max = -2/3
If the question is y=s/t, where s,t are non-negative and independent and you know the ranges for s,t respectively, then your method will work.
However, in this case, s=sin x-1 and t=cos x+2. They are not independent (as (s+1)^2+(t-2)^2=1) and s≦0, you can't get max/min values this way.

從同學口中得知以下題目,但小弟實在無能為力,束手無策,希望有高手可以幫手解答。
Question:
Find the maximum and minimum values of y.
29171

P.S. post錯區tim,麻煩版主幫手,唔該!
The way I find most straight-forward is certainly by differentiation.

However, if you haven't learnt it yet, then there is probably a way to get the answer by playing around with trigonometric identities.

For maximum value, this method should be ok, right?
In general, "max. value = 上max / 下min" will not work if top and bottom are not independent.
Even if top and bottom are independent, you need to take care about the sign.


However, there is an alternative way to argue that the max. is 0 in this particular case.

The numerator is non-positive while the denominator is positive. Hence, we can conclude that the fraction is non-positive. Furthermore, we see that the value 0 can be attained (when sin x=1). Therefore, 0 is the maximum value.

For max. value, the upper is greatest while the lower part is smallest.
For min. value, the upper is smallest while the lower part is greatest.
This is the principle.
This is generally FALSE!!! (unless both numerator and denominator are positive)
