The minimum value of 2 ^ x + 2 ^ x is :

The minimum value of 2sin⁡x+2cos⁡x{2}^{\sin x} + {2}^{\cos x} is :

Options

  1. A2−1+12{2}^{- 1 + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}
  2. B2−1+2{2}^{- 1 + \sqrt{2}}
  3. C21−2{2}^{1 - \sqrt{2}}
  4. D21−12{2}^{1 - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}

Correct answer

D. 21−12{2}^{1 - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}

Step-by-step solution

Using A.M≥G.M.A . M \ge G . M .

2sin⁡x+2cos⁡x2≥2sin⁡x⋅2cos⁡x\dfrac{{2}^{\sin x} + {2}^{\cos x}}{2} \ge \sqrt{{2}^{\sin x} \cdot {2}^{\cos x}}

⇒2sin⁡x+2cos⁡x≥21+sin⁡x+cos⁡x2⇒ {2}^{\sin x} + {2}^{\cos x} \ge {2}^{1 + \dfrac{\sin x + \cos x}{2}}

Now −2≤sin⁡x+cos⁡x≤2- \sqrt{2} \le \sin x + \cos x \le \sqrt{2}

So minimum value of

2sin⁡x+2cos⁡x=21+−22=21−12{2}^{\sin x} + {2}^{\cos x} = {2}^{1 + \dfrac{- \sqrt{2}}{2}} = {2}^{1 - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}
