Applications Of Derivatives Question 128

Question: If the function $ f(x)=\frac{K\sin x+2\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x} $ is increasing for all values of x, then

Options:

A) $ K<1 $

B) $ K>1 $

C) $ K<2 $

D) $ K>2 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Since $ f(x)=\frac{K\sin x+2\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x} $ is increasing

for all x, therefore $ f’(x)>0 $ for all x

$ \Rightarrow \frac{K-2}{{{(\sin x+\cos x)}^{2}}}>0 $ for all x

therefore $ K-2>0\Rightarrow K>2 $ .
