Ans:
f(x)=sin^{3}x+asin^{2}x
Lets 1stfind the crical points:
f^{'}(x) = 0
f^{'}(x)=3sin^{2}xcosx+2asinxcosx=0
sinx.cosx(3sinx+2a) = 0
sin2x = 0, sinx = \frac{-2a}{3}
x= 0, sin^{-1}\frac{-2a}{3}
f^{''}(x) = -3sin^{3}x + 6sinx.cos^{2}x+2acos2x
f^{''}(0) = -3.0 + 6.0.1+2a.1 = 2a
f^{''}(sin^{-1}\frac{-2a}{3}) = -3(\frac{-2a}{3})^{3} + 6.\frac{-2a}{3}.(1-\frac{4a^{2}}{9})+2a(1-\frac{8a^{2}}{9})f^{''}(sin^{-1}\frac{-2a}{3}) = \frac{8}{9}a^{3}-2a
Both of these values should have opposite sign for exactly one maxima & one minima
Let
f^{''}(0) = 2a < 0
a< 0
f^{''}(sin^{-1}\frac{-2a}{3}) = \frac{8}{9}a^{3}-2a > 0
a(a-\frac{3}{2})(a+\frac{3}{2})> 0
\Rightarrow \frac{-3}{2}< a< 0, a> \frac{3}{2}
So the combined solution is
\frac{-3}{2}< a< 0
Lets
f^{''}(0)=2a> 0
a> 0
f^{''}(sin^{-1}\frac{-2a}{3})=a(a-\frac{3}{2})(a+\frac{3}{2})< 0
\Rightarrow 0< a< \frac{3}{2}, a< \frac{-3}{2}
So the combined solution is
0< a< \frac{3}{2}
So ‘a’ should lie in
(\frac{-3}{2},0)\bigcup (0, \frac{3}{2})
