Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 118

Question: The set of values of k for which $ x^{2}-kx+{{\sin }^{-1}}(sin4)>0 $ for all real x is

Options:

A) $ \phi $

B) $ (-2,2) $

C) $ R $

D) $ (-\infty ,-2)\cup (2,\infty ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

$ \because \frac{\pi }{2}<4<\frac{3\pi }{2}, $ so $ {{\sin }^{-1}}\sin 4 $

$ ={{\sin }^{-1}}\sin (\pi -4)=\pi -4 $

The inequality becomes $ x^{2}-kx+\pi -4>0 $

The discriminant $ D=k^{2}-4(\pi -4)>0 $ for all k, That is $ x^{2}-kx+(\pi -4)>0 $ cannot hold for all x.
