Analysis of x 7→ tan x + x2

Warning: some values are approximated. Some results may be wrong .

We consider the function defined by f (x) = tan x + x2 .

We narrow the analysis down to [0 ; π2 [ ∪ ] π2 ; 3·π 3·π

2 [ ∪ ] 2 ;2 · π ].

It is derivable on [0 ; π2 [ ∪ ] π2 ; 3·π 3·π

2 [ ∪ ] 2 ;2 · π ].

sin2 x+2 x cos2 x+cos2 x

Its derivative is f 0 (x) = cos2 x .

It admits the below limits:

lim f (x) = +∞
x→ π
