    For every \[x\in R\] the value of expression \[y=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{8}+x\cos +\cos 2x\] is never less than

    A) \[-\,1\]                          

    B) \[0\]

    C) \[1\]                             

    D) \[2\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    We have,
    \[y=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{8}+x\cos x+\cos 2x\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[y=\frac{1}{8}[{{x}^{2}}+8x\cos x+8\cos 2x]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[y=\frac{1}{8}[{{x}^{2}}+8x\cos x+4{{\cos }^{2}}x+8\,(2{{\cos }^{2}}x-1)\]\[-\,4{{\cos }^{2}}x]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[y=\frac{1}{8}[{{(x+2\cos x)}^{2}}+12{{\cos }^{2}}x-8]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[y=\frac{1}{8}{{(x+2\cos x)}^{2}}+\frac{1}{8}(12\,{{\cos }^{2}}x-8)\]
    \[\therefore \]Minimum value of y is \[\frac{1}{8}(0-8)=-\,1\]
