Question 46

The voltage VVV in an electrical circuit is modeled by the function

V(t)=5t+19t9+2cos⁡t V(t) = 5t + \frac{1}{9}t^9 + 2\cos t V(t)=5t+91​t9+2cost

for t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}t∈R, where ttt is the time in seconds. Use proof by contradiction to prove that the voltage function has no stationary points.
