Question

The range of k for which the inequality k cos2x - k cos x + 1 ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ R, is -

Options

A.k <
B.k > 4
C. ≤ k ≤ 4
D. ≤ k ≤ 2

Solution

We have k cos2x - k cosx + 1 ≥ 0
⇒ k(cos2x - cos x) + 1 ≥ 0
cos2x - cos x = (cos x - )2 -
Since - ≤ cos2x - cos x ≤ 2
We have 2k + 1 ≥ 0 and - + 1 ≥ 0
⇒ - ≤ k ≤ 4
