Question:

Consider the function $f(x) =\sin x$ in the interval $[π, 2π]$, then which of the following statements are correct?

(A) $x =\frac{3\pi}{2}$ is its stationary point.
(B) Its maximum value is 1
(C) Its minimum value is -1
(D) It attains its maximum value at $π$ and $2π$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A) and (C) only

(A), (C) and (D) only

(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A), (C) and (D) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (C) and (D) only

$f(x)=\sin x,\; x\in[\pi,2\pi]$

$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x)=\cos x$

$\cos x=0$ at $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ inside $[\pi,2\pi]$.

Hence $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ is a stationary point.

$\sin x$ on $[\pi,2\pi]$ decreases from $0$ (at $x=\pi$) to $-1$ (at $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$) and then increases back to $0$ (at $x=2\pi$).

Maximum value $=0$ at $x=\pi,2\pi$.

Minimum value $=-1$ at $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$.

The correct statements are (A), (C) and (D).
