MCQ
$sin^{2n}x + cos^{2n}x$ lies between
  • A
    $-1$ and $1$
  • $0$ and $1$
  • C
    $1$ and $2$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0$ and $1$
b
Since $0 \leq \sin ^{2 \pi} x \leq \sin ^{2} x$

$0 \leq \cos ^{2 \pi} x \leq \cos ^{2} x$

$\left[\because \sin ^{4} x=\sin ^{2} x, \sin ^{2} x \leq \sin ^{2} x \cdot 1\right.$

$\left.\therefore \sin ^{4} x \leq \sin ^{2} x \text { etc. }\right]$

$\Rightarrow \quad 0<\sin ^{2 \pi} x+\cos ^{2 n} x \leq \sin ^{2} x+\cos ^{2} x=1$

$\Rightarrow \quad 0<\sin ^{2 n} x+\cos ^{2 n} x \leq 1$
