An electric current, I, in amps, is given by I=cos(wt)+√8sin(wt), where w≠0 is a constant. What are the maximum and minimum values of I

Just has to be greater than or equal to 0... w and t can never be negative since taking the square root of a negative number yields an imaginary number which would mean imaginary current. Also the question states that w can't be zero but if T is zero than the current will be zero.
