Correct answer: A
Given function
f(x)=6+16cosx⋅cos(3π−x)⋅cos(3π+x)⋅sin3x⋅cos6x
We need the range [α,β] of f(x), then the distance of point (α,β) from the line
3x+4y+12=0.
Simplify the product of cosines
Use
cos(A−B)cos(A+B)=cos2A−sin2B.
Here, A=3π and B=x, so
cos(3π−x)cos(3π+x)=cos23π−sin2x=41−sin2x.
Thus,
cosx⋅cos(3π−x)⋅cos(3π+x)=cosx(41−sin2x).
Now,
41−sin2x=41−(1−cos2x)=cos2x−43.
So,
cosx(cos2x−43)=41(4cos3x−3cosx)=41cos3x
using
cos3x=4cos3x−3cosx.
Hence the function becomes
f(x)=6+16⋅41cos3x⋅sin3x⋅cos6x.
That is,
f(x)=6+4cos3xsin3xcos6x.
Use product-to-sum identities
Since
2sin3xcos3x=sin6x,
we get
4cos3xsin3xcos6x=2sin6xcos6x=sin12x.
Therefore,
f(x)=6+sin12x.
Find the range
Since
−1≤sin12x≤1,
it follows that
5≤f(x)≤7.
So,
α=5,β=7.
Thus the point is
(α,β)=(5,7).
Distance from the line
Distance of point (x1,y1) from line Ax+By+C=0 is
