Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be a function such that $f(x)=a x+3 \sin x+4 \cos x$. Then, f(x) is invertible if |
$a \in(-5,5)$ $a \in(-\infty,-5)$ $a \in(5, \infty)$ none of these |
none of these |
We have, $f(x) =a x+3 \sin x+4 \cos x$ $\Rightarrow f'(x) =a+3 \cos x-4 \sin x$ If f(x) is invertible, then f'(x) > 0 for all x or, f'(x) < 0 for all x $\Rightarrow a+3 \cos x-4 \sin x>0$ for all x or, $a+3 \cos x-4 \sin x<0$ for all x $\Rightarrow a-5>0$ or, $a+5<0$ $[∵-5 \leq 3 \cos x-4 \sin x \leq 5]$ $\Rightarrow a>5$ or, $a<-5 \Rightarrow a \in(-\infty,-5) \cup(5, \infty)$ |
