Q.

If ∫1a2sin2x+b2cos2x dx=112tan-1(3tanx)+constant, then the maximum value of asinx+bcosx is:           [2024]

1 41    
2 42    
3 40    
4 39    

Ans.

(3)

We have, ∫1a2sin2x+b2cos2x dx=112tan-1(3tanx)+c

Let I=∫1a2sin2x+b2cos2x dx=∫sec2xa2tan2x+b2 dx

Let      tanx=t⇒sec2x dx=dt

∴     I=∫dt(at)2+b2

=1batan-1(atb)+c=1batan-1(abtanx)+c

⇒ab=12 and ab=3

⇒a2=36 and b2=4

Now, -a2+b2≤asinx+bcosx≤a2+b2

Required maximum value =36+4=40
