Find the maximum value of the function $sinx(1+cosx)$ is : |
$\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}$ $3\sqrt{3}$ 4 3 |
$\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}$ $y=\sin x(1+\cos x)$ $y'=\cos x(1+\cos x)-\sin x\sin x$ $=\cos x+\cos^2x-\sin^2x=0$ $2\cos^2x+\cos x-1=0$ $(2\cos x-1)(\cos x+1)=0$ $\cos x=\frac{1}{2},\cos x=-1$ so $y_{max}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(1+\frac{1}{2})=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}$ |
