MCQ
If $\text{A}=2\sin^2\text{x}-\cos2\text{x},$ then A lies in the interval:
  • A
    $[-1,3]$
  • B
    $[1,2]$
  • C
    $[-2,4]$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. $[-1,3]$

Solution:

$\text{A}=2\sin^2\text{x}-\cos2\text{x}$

$=2\sin^2\text{x}-(1-2\sin^2\text{x})$

$=4\sin^2\text{x}-1$

$\therefore0\leq\sin^2\text{x}\leq1$

$\Rightarrow4\times0\leq4\times\sin^2\text{x}\leq4\times1$

$\Rightarrow0\leq4\sin^2\text{x}\leq4$

$\Rightarrow0-1\leq4\sin^2\text{x}-1\leq4-1$

$\Rightarrow-1\leq4\sin^2\text{x}-1\leq3$

$\Rightarrow-1\leq\text{A}\leq3$

$\Rightarrow\text{A}\in[-1,3]$
