Functions (XII)

Question

If f(x)=4-x2+x2-1, then the maximum value of (f(x))2  is

Difficult
Solution

Let x2=4cos2θ +sin2θ then 4-x2=3 sin2 θ and x2-1=3 cos2 θ    now f(x)=4-x2+x2-1 f(x) =3sinθ +3cos θ 

(f(x))2=3sin2θ+3cos2θ+2(3)sin θcosθ (f(x))2=3+3sin2 θ max of sin2θ =1 Hence, maximum value of (f(x))2 is 6
