Question -4

• If 0 < a, b < 5 and has at least one real root. Then:

• A. the least value of (a + b) is

• B. the greatest value of (a + b) is 3

• C. the least value of (a + b) is

• D. the greatest value of (a + b) is

Solution :

The given eqn can be written as cos(a + bx) = [-1,1]

-4- [-4,4]

-8 0 and hence = 0 or x = 1.

Thus,cos(a + b)=-1

a + b = (2n+1)
Since 0<a,b<5,we get 0<a+b<10 and thus,the min. value of a+b is and max.value is
.
