Question

If θ = sin2θ + cos4θ , then for all real values of θ

Options

A.≤ p ≤ 1
B.1 < p ≤ 2
C.≤ p ≤
D.≤ p ≤ 2

Solution

θ = sin2θ + cos4θ
θ = sin2θ + (1 - sin2θ)2
θ = sin2θ + 1 + sin4θ - 2sin2θ
θ = sin4θ - sin2θ + 1
sin4θ - sin2θ + 1 - p = 0
for all real value of q  
b2 - 4ac ≥ 0
1 - 4 × 1(1 - p)  ≥ 0
1 - 4 + 4p  ≥ 0
4p ≥ 3
p ≥
sin θ max value = 1
so
