Functions Question 113

Question: Let $ f(\theta )=\sin \theta (\sin \theta +\sin 3\theta ) $ , then $ f(\theta ) $

[IIT Screening 2000]

Options:

A) $ \ge 0 $ only when $ \theta \ge 0 $

B) $ \le 0 $ for all real $ \theta $

C) $ \ge 0 $ for all real $ \theta $

D) $ \le 0 $ only when $ \theta \le 0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Here, $ f(\theta )=\sin \theta (\sin \theta +\sin 3\theta ) $ $ =\sin \theta (\sin \theta +3\sin \theta -4{{\sin }^{3}}\theta )=4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta (1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ) $ $ =4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta {{\cos }^{2}}\theta ={{(\sin 2\theta )}^{2}} $ \ $ f(\theta )\ge 0 $ for all real $ \theta $ .
