If A + B = 2 then the maximum value of A B is
Options
- A1 2
- B1 2
- C- 1 2
- D- 1 2
Correct answer
B. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
Given A + B = 2 , we have B = 2 - A . The expression A B becomes A ( 2 - A ) . Using the identity ( 2 - ) = , this simplifies to A A . Applying the double-angle identity (2A) = 2 A A , we write A A = 1 2 (2A) . The maximum value of (2A) is 1 , so the maximum value of the expression is 1 2 1 = 1 2 . The correct option is B .
