Q.

The set of values of the parameter 'a' for which the function; f(x)=8ax-asin6x-7x-sin5x increases ∀x∈R and has no critical points is

1 [-1,1]  
2 (-∞,-6)  
3 (-∞,-6]  
4 (6,∞)  

Ans.

(4)

f(x)=8ax-asin6x-7x-sin5x

f'(x)=8a-6acos6x-7-5cos5x=8a-7-6acos6x-5cos5x

f(x) is an increasing function

f'(x)>0

∴ 8a-7>6a+5 (no critical points)

⇒2a>12

⇒a>6

∴ a∈(6,∞)
