If f x = cos x - 2 a x + b is a function which increases for all x , then the maximum value of 2 a + 1 is
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
f x = cos x − 2 a x + b , f is differentiable everywhere. f ' x = − sin x − 2 a , f ' x ≥ 0 for all x ⇒ - sin x - 2 a ≥ 0 ⇒ sin x ≤ - 2 a f increases for all x ⇒ - 2 a ≥ 1 ⇒ 2 a + 1 ≤ 0 Hence, the maximum value of 2 a + 1 = 0
