Let \(f(x) = \frac{\cos{x}}{\sin{x}}\) for \(\sin{x} \neq 0\).
In the following table, \(f'\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = p\) and \(f' \left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right) = q\). The table also gives approximate values of \(f'(x)\) and \(f''(x)\) near \(x = \frac{\pi}{2}\).
\(x\) | \( \frac{\pi}{2} - 0.1\) | \( \frac{\pi}{2}\) | \( \frac{\pi}{2} + 0.1\) |
|---|---|---|---|
\(f'(x)\) | \(-1.01\) | \(p\) | \(-1.01\) |
\(f''(x)\) | \(0.203\) | \(q\) | \(-0.203\) |
