Question #3a6f3

#y=8/{sinx+cosx}=8(sinx+cosx)^{-1}#

By differntiating,

#y'=-8(sinx+cosx)^{-2}(cosx-sinx)#

#={8(sinx-cosx)}/{(sinx+cosx)^2}#

In order to find an equation of a line, we will need two pieces of information:

#{("Point: "(x_1,y_1)=(0,8) Rightarrow y"-intercept: "b=8),("Slope: "m=y'(0)={8(0-1)}/{(0+1)^2}=-8):}#

By Slope-Intercept Form #y=mx+b#,

#y=-8x+8#.

I hope that this was helpful.
