MCQ
The function $f (x) = sin^4x + cos^4x$ increases if :
  • A
    $0 < x < \pi /8$
  • ✓
    $\pi /4 < x < 3 \pi /8$
  • C
    $3\pi/8 < x < 5\pi/8$
  • D
    $5\pi/8 < x < 3\pi/4$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\pi /4 < x < 3 \pi /8$
b
$ f(x) =\sin ^{4} x+\cos ^{4} x $

$ f(x) =4 \sin ^{3} x \cos x-4 \cos ^{3} x \sin x $

$=4 \sin x \cos x\left(\sin ^{2} x-\cos ^{2} x\right) $

$=-2 \sin 2 x \cos 2 x=-\sin 4 x $

$f(x)$ increases if $f'\left( x \right) > 0$ i.e., $\sin 4 x<0$

$\Rightarrow \pi<4 \mathrm{x}<2 \pi \Rightarrow \pi / 4<\mathrm{x}<\pi / 2$

Since interval in choice $(2)$ in included in $(\pi / 4, \pi / 2).$

Hence the most appropriate answer is $(2)$
