what will be the gradiesnt of f(x)=1 / sin(x - 90) where 100<x<180 and will it be positive gradient or negative
Note that sin(x - 90) = sinxcos90 - sin90cos x = -cosx
So we have :
f(x) = -1/cosx = -secx
f ' (x) = -sec(x)tan(x)

Note that the derivative [gradient ] is always negative on 100 < x < 180
