Options
- Af ′ x = 0 a t e x a c t l y t h r e e p o i n t s i n ( - π , π )
- Bf ( x ) attains its maxima at x = 0
- Cf ( x ) attains its minima at x = 0
- Df ′ x = 0 a t m o r e t h a n t h r e e p o i n t s i n ( - π , π )
Correct answer
B. f ( x ) attains its maxima at x = 0
Step-by-step solution
Expansion of determinant f x = cos 2 x + cos 4 x f ' ( x ) = − 2 sin 2 x − 4 sin 4 x = − 2 sin 2 x ( 1 + 4 cos 2 x ) ∴ maxima at x = 0 f ' x = 0 ⇒ sin 2 x = 0 ∴ x = 0 , π 2 , - π 2 and cos 2 x = - 1 4 has 4 solutions in - π , π ∴ f ′ x = 0 has more than three solutions
