If $\alpha$ be the number of solutions of the equation $[\sin x]=|x|$ and $\beta$ be the greatest value of the function $f(x)=\cos \left(x^2-\left[x^2\right]\right)$ in the interval $[-1,1]$, then |
$\alpha=\beta$ $\alpha>\beta$ $\alpha<\beta$ none of these |
$\alpha=\beta$ |
Since, $-1 \leq \sin x \leq 1$ for all $x$. Therefore, $[\sin x]=\left\{\begin{aligned} The given equation is $[\sin x]=|x|$ $\Rightarrow \quad[\sin x] \geq 0$ ∴ $[\sin x]=0,1$ Thus, $[\sin x]=|x| \Rightarrow|x|=0,1 \Rightarrow x=0, \pm 1$ But, only $x=0$ satisfies the equation (i). Therefore, $\alpha=1$. Now, $\beta$ = Greatest value of $\cos \left(x^2-\left[x^2\right]\right) \text { in }[-1,1]$ $\beta$ = 1 $\left[∵ \cos \left(x^2-\left[x^2\right]\right)=\cos 0=1 \text { at } x=0\right]$ Hence, $\alpha=\beta$. |
