Question 20 The least value of the function 𝑓(π‘₯) = 2 π‘π‘œπ‘  π‘₯ + π‘₯ in the closed interval ["0," πœ‹/2] is: (a) 2 (b) πœ‹/2 + √3 (c) πœ‹/2 (d) The least value does not exist Let f(π‘₯)="2 π‘π‘œπ‘  π‘₯ + π‘₯" Finding f’(𝒙) 𝑓’(π‘₯)=𝑑(2 cos⁑π‘₯ + π‘₯)/𝑑π‘₯ =βˆ’2 sin⁑π‘₯+1 Putting f’(𝒙)=𝟎 βˆ’2 sin⁑π‘₯+1=0 2 sin π‘₯=1 sin π‘₯=1/2 ∴ x = 𝝅/πŸ” Since we are given closed interval ["0," 𝝅/𝟐] Let’s check value of f(x) at 0, 𝝅/πŸ” and 𝝅/𝟐 f(0) = 2 cos 0 + 0 = 2 Γ— 1 + 0 = 2 f(𝝅/πŸ”) = 2 cos 𝝅/πŸ” + 𝝅/πŸ” = 2 Γ— √3/2 + 𝝅/πŸ” = √3 + 𝝅/πŸ” f(𝝅/𝟐) = 2 cos 𝝅/𝟐 + 𝝅/𝟐 = 2 Γ— 0 + 𝝅/𝟐 = 𝝅/𝟐 Since value of f(x) is lowest at x = 𝝅/𝟐 So, the correct answer is (C)
