Let (M ) and (m ) respectively denote the maximum and the minimum values of ([f( )]^2 ), where (f( )= a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 ) (+ a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 ). Then (M-m= )
Options
- A(a^2+b^2 )
- B((a-b)^2 )
- C(a^2 b^2 )
- D((a+b)^2 )
Correct answer
B. ((a-b)^2 )
Step-by-step solution
If ( aligned & f( )= a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 + a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 & [f( )]^2=a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 +a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 & +2 (a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 ) (a^2 ^2 +b^2 ^2 ) aligned ) ( [f( )]^2 ) will be maximum, if ( ^2 = ^2 = 1 2 ) and will be minimum, if either ( ^2 =0 ) or ( ^2 =0 ). ( aligned & M= (a^2+b^2 )+2 ( a^2 2 + b^2 2 )^2 =2 (a^2+b^2 ) & and m= (a^2+b^2 )+2 a^2 b^2 =a^2+b^2+2 a b & M-m=2 (a^2+b^2 )- [a^2+b^2+2 a b ] & =a^2+b^2-2 a b=(a-b)^2 aligned ) Hence, option (2) is correct.
