Question

Let f(θ) = sin θ (sin θ + sin 3 θ). The f (θ)

Options

A.≥ 0 only when θ ≥ 0
B.≤ 0 for all real θ
C.≥ 0 for all real θ
D.≤ 0 only when θ ≤ 0

Solution

It is given,
f(θ) = sin θ(sin θ + sin 3θ)
      = (sin θ + 3sin θ - 4
sin3θ) sin θ
      = (4sin θ - 4sin 3θ) sin θ
      = sin2 θ(4 - 4sin2 θ)
      4sin2 θ cos2 θ = (2sin2 θ cos2 θ)
      = (sin 2θ)2 ≥ 0
      which is true for all θ
