If (x) = csinx+dcosxasinx+bcosxdecreases for all x if –
A
ad – bc < 0
B
ad – bc > 0
C
ab – cd > 0
D
ab – cd < 0
Answer
ad – bc < 0
Explanation
Solution
¢(x)
= (csinx+dcosx)2(acosx−bsinx)(csinx+dcosx)−(asinx+bcosx)(ccosx–dsinx)
= (csinx+dcosx)2ad(cos2x+sin2x)−bc(cos2x+sin2x)
= (csinx+dcosx)2ad−bc
decreases for all x if and only if ¢(x) < 0 for all x i.e., ad – bc < 0.
