Let m and M respectively be the minimum and the maximum values of . Then m + M is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Interpret the function carefully
The given function is
Here, and mean inverse trigonometric functions of the argument .
-
Use the standard identity
For ,
Since , we have so the identity is valid.
Therefore,
Hence
-
Reduce the problem to finding extrema of
Let
Since , we have
Now,
As varies from to , and is increasing on this interval, is increasing on the whole domain.
So:
- minimum occurs at
- maximum occurs at
-
Compute minimum value
At ,
Thus,
-
Compute maximum value
At ,
Thus,
-
Find
-
Match with the options
which is Option A.
Conclusion: The correct answer is A.
