Grade 11TrigonometryGiven A=sin^2x+cos^4x,then for all real x, min≤A≤max Sowmeadhik 8 Years agoGrade 11
Ritesh Khatri8 Years agoWe Know thatSin^2x Also Cos^2x >= Cos^4xAdd sin^2x both sidesCos^2x + sin^2x >= Cos^4x + sin^2x 1 >= Cos^4x + sin^2xTherefore max of A is 1Also both terms Cos^4x + sin^2x= (1 – sin^2x)^2 + sin^2x= 1 + sin^4x – 2sin^2x + sin^2x=Sin^4x – sinn^2x + 1 = (sin^2x – 1/2)^2 + 3/4now Min =3/4 and Max = 1
