Q.

Let the range of the function f(x)=12+sin3x+cos3x,x be [a,b]. If α and β are respectively the A.M. and the G.M. of a and b, then αβ is equal to          [2024]

1 π  
2 2  
3 π  
4 2  

Ans.

(4)

f(x)=12+sin3x+cos3x

Now, -2sin3x+cos3x2

12+212+sin3x+cos3x12-2

[a,b]=[12+2,12-2]

Now, A.M. of a and b i.e., α=12[12+2+12-2]

12[44-2]=1

β=G.M. of a and b=12+2·12-2=14-2=12

So, αβ=112=2
