Question
Prove that $(2\sqrt{3}+3)\sin\text{x}+2\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}$ lies between $-(2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{15})$ and $(2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{15}).$

Answer

Let $\text{f(x)}=(2\sqrt{3}+3)\sin\text{x}+2\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}$ We know that, $-\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}+3)^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2}\le\text{f(x)}\le\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}+3)^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2}$ $\Rightarrow-\sqrt{12+9+12\sqrt{3}+12}\le\text{f(x)}\le\sqrt{12+9+12\sqrt{3}+12}$ $\Rightarrow-\sqrt{33+12\sqrt{3}}\le\text{f(x)}\le\sqrt{33+12\sqrt{3}}$ Disclaimer: Instead of $-(2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{15})$ and $(2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{15}),$ it should be $-\sqrt{33+12\sqrt{3}}$ and $\sqrt{33+12\sqrt{3}}.$
