MCQ
Consider the function $f :\left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right] \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=4 \sqrt{2} x^3-3 \sqrt{2} x-1$. Consider the statements
$(I) $ The curve $y=f(x)$ intersects the $x-$ axis exactly at one point
$(II)$ The curve $y=f(x)$ intersects the $x-$ axis at $x=\cos \frac{\pi}{12}$ Then
  • A
    Only (II) is correct
  • B
    Both (I) and (II) are incorrect
  • C
    Only (I) is correct
  • D
    Both (I) and (II) are correct

Answer

$f^{\prime}(x)=12 \sqrt{2} x^2-3 \sqrt{2} \geq 0 $  for $\left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$
$f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)<0$
$f(1)>0 $
$\Rightarrow(A)$ is correct.
$f(x)=\sqrt{2}\left(4 x^3-3 x\right)-1=0$
Let $\cos \alpha= x$,
$\cos 3 \alpha=\cos \frac{\pi}{4} $
$\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\pi}{12}$
$x=\cos \frac{\pi}{12}$
$(4)$ is correct.
