- B8
- C9
- D10
Correct answer
B. 8
Step-by-step solution
Here, sgn e x = 1 Let tan ⁡ x = t ⇒ t ∈ - 1 , 1 ∵ x ∈ - π 4 , π 4 ∴ f t = 2 t 3 - 6 t 2 + 2 ⇒ f ' t = 2 3 t 2 - 6 t = 6 t t - 2 ∴ f - 1 = 2 - 1 - 3 + 1 = - 6 f 1 = 2 1 - 3 + 1 = - 2 f 0 = 2 ∴ Least value = - 6 Local maximum value = 2 ∴ the required positive difference = 8
