JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Applications of Derivatives Question Bank Increasing and Decreasing Function

  • question_answer
    The function \[\frac{a\sin x+b\cos x}{c\sin x+d\,\cos x}\] is decreasing, if  [RPET 1999]

    A)            \[ad-bc>0\]

    B)            \[ad-bc<0\]

    C)            \[ab-cd>0\]

    D)            \[ab-cd<0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Let \[y=\frac{a\sin x+b\cos x}{c\sin x+d\cos x}\]            The function will be decreasing, when \[\frac{dy}{dx}<0\]. \[\frac{(c\sin x+d\cos x)(a\cos x-b\sin x)-(a\sin x+b\cos x)(c\cos x-d\sin x)}{{{(c\sin x+d\cos x)}^{2}}}<0\]                    Þ \[ac\sin x\cos x-bc{{\sin }^{2}}x+ad{{\cos }^{2}}x\]            \[-bd\sin x\cos x-ac\sin x\cos x+ad{{\sin }^{2}}x\] \[-bc{{\cos }^{2}}x+bd\sin x\cos x<0\]            Þ \[ad({{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)-bc({{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)<0\]            Þ  \[(ad-bc)<0\].
