The value of in order that (f(x)=\sin x-\cos x-a x+b) decreases for all real values is given by
Options
- A(a \geq )
- Ba (< )
- C(a \geq 1)
- D
Correct answer
A. (a \geq )
Step-by-step solution
We have; (f(x)=\sin x-\cos x-a x+b)
(\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x+\sin x-a)
(\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x}) <0 \forall \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R})
(\Rightarrow(\cos x+\sin x) < a \forall x \in \mathbb{R})
As the max. value of ((\cos x+\sin x)) is \ The above is possible when (a \geq \sqrt{2})$
