  1. In the figure at the left, the graph of the function is plotted in blue and that of the derivative in red. Both graphs have vertical asymptotes wherever `cos text[(]3 theta text[)]=0,` so the graphs have many interesting pieces. We show two pieces of each graph in the figure. Note the correspondence of positive, negative, and zero values of the derivative with increasing, decreasing, and relative extreme points on the graph of the original function.
