MCQ
Let $f(\theta ) = \sin \theta (\sin \theta + \sin 3\theta )$, then $f(\theta )$
  • A
    $ \ge 0$ only when $\theta \ge 0$
  • B
    $ \le 0$ for all real $\theta $
  • $ \ge 0$ for all real $\theta $
  • D
    $ \le 0$ only when $\theta \le 0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ \ge 0$ for all real $\theta $
c
(c) Here, $f(\theta ) = \sin \theta (\sin \theta + \sin 3\theta )$

$ = \sin \theta (\sin \theta + 3\sin \theta - 4{\sin ^3}\theta ) = 4{\sin ^2}\theta (1 - {\sin ^2}\theta )$

$ = 4{\sin ^2}\theta {\cos ^2}\theta = {(\sin 2\theta )^2}$

$\therefore$ $f(\theta ) \ge 0$ for all real $\theta $.
