How do I find constants so that the curvature of an oscillating funtion is between them?

28 Views Asked by At

I am currently struggling with how to answer this question:

"Consider the planar curve $y = a\sin(bx)$ where $a, b$ are non-zero real numbers. Find constants $A$ and $B$ so that $A \le k \le B$ for all $x$, where $k$ is the curvature at $x$. These constants will be dependent on $a, b$"

I used the definition for curvature for a planar curve to get

$$k = \frac{|ab^2\sin(bx)|}{(1+(ab\cos(bx))^2)^{3/2}}$$

I know $\cos(bx)$ and $\sin(bx)$ oscillate but the curvature is always even, so I don't know what to do from here. Any help would be appreciated.
