Question

-If f(x) = sin3x + λ sin2 x ; -π/2 < x < π/2, then the interval in which l should lie in order that f(x) has exactly one minima and one maxima

Options

A.(-3/2, 3/2) - {0}
B.(-2/3, 2/3) - {0}
C.R
D.

Solution

f′(x) = sinx cos x (3 sin x + 2l)
f′(x) = 0
⇒  sin x = 0    or    cos x = 0    or     sin x =
⇒ x = 0        or    sin x = (as cos x = 0 is not possible).
If     λ = 0 then f′(x) ≥ 0   ⇒   no extrema,
⇒  - 1 <    < 0    or    0 < < 1
⇒  0 < λ < 3/2       or  - 3/2  < λ < 0
