If the maximum value of , for which the function is non-decreasing in , is , then is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: THE CORRECT VALUE SHOULD BE $$7+\TAN^{-1}\LEFT(\FRAC{\PI}{4}\RIGHT)-\FRAC{9\PI}{4(9+\PI^2)}$$, SO THE STORED ANSWER A IS LIKELY INCORRECT, UNLESS THE QUESTION INTENDED A DIFFERENT FUNCTION OR EVALUATION POINT.
- We need the function to be non-decreasing on
For a differentiable function, non-decreasing on an interval means
- Differentiate:
So we need That is,
Hence the maximum possible value of is obtained from the minimum of on the interval.
- Now, is a decreasing function of , so its minimum on occurs at the endpoints .
Thus,
Simplify:
Therefore, so
- Now compute
This gives So,
- Now compare with the options. Option A is This would require which is false.
Also, note that and certainly not something that simplifies to make any listed option exact.
So the exact derived value is
- Therefore, none of the given options matches the mathematically derived answer. The stored correct answer A appears inconsistent with the question as written.
