Question

Function f(x) = is monotonic increasing when-

Options

A.λ < 1
B.λ > 1
C.λ < 2
D.λ > 2

Solution

f(x) =
(2 sin x + 6 cos x ) [λ cos x - 3 sin x)
f′(x) > 0
2λ(sin x cos x ) - 6 sin2 x + 6λ cos2 x - 18 sin x cos x
= > 0
2λ sin x cos x - 6 sin2 x + 6λ cos2 x - 18 sin x cos x
= > 0
> 0    6λ > 6        λ > 1
