Question

Consider f(x) = cos2x(2cos2x + 3sinxcosx) + ax, where a ∈ R, Value(s) of ′a′ for which f(x) is strictly increasing for all x ∈ R can be -

Options

A.4
B.5
C.6
D.7

Solution

f(x) = 2 cos22x + .(2sin x cos x) cos2x + ax
⇒ f(x) = 2cos22x + .2 sin2x cos2x + ax
⇒ f(x) = 2cos22x + sin4x + ax
f′(x) = - 4 sin4x + 3cos4x + a ≥ 0∀ x ∈ R
⇒ a ≥ 4sin 4x - 3cos4x
⇒ a ≥ 5
