If $y=|\cos x|+|\sin x|$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ at $x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$ is |
$\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2}$ 0 $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}$ none of these |
$\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}$ |
In the neighbourhood of $x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$, we have $\cos x<0$ and $\sin x>0$ $\Rightarrow |\cos x|=-\cos x$ and $|\sin x|=\sin x$ ∴ $y=|\cos x|+|\sin x|$ $\Rightarrow y=-\cos x+\sin x$ $\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\sin x+\cos x$ $\Rightarrow\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}}=\sin \frac{2 \pi}{3}+\cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}$ |
