**Note**: This questions is quite different from the ones referred to in the comments. Those deal with numerical questions, while this one is algebraic. I have plots of the following type: Plot[Cos[50 t] + Cos[51 t], {t, 0, 10}] ![enter image description here][1] I would like to plot a 'sheath' over this plot, i.e. another plot that joins all of maxima and minima of this plot respectively. Here is my attempt, but it's not exactly what I'd like: Plot[{Cos[50 t] + Cos[51 t], Cos[t] + 1.5, -Cos[t] - 1.5}, {t, 0, 10}] ![enter image description here][2] How can I generate the actual, tight sheath?
