    If \[A={{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x\], then for all real \[x\].   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2011

    A) \[\frac{3}{4}\le A\le \frac{13}{16}\]                            

    B)  \[\frac{3}{4}\le A\le 1\]

    C) \[\frac{13}{16}\le A\le 1\]                               

    D)  \[1\le A\le 2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                 We have, \[A={{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x=1-{{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x\] \[=1+{{\left( {{\cos }^{2}}x-\frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}-\frac{1}{4}\] \[=\frac{3}{4}+{{\left( {{\cos }^{2}}x-\frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\ge \frac{3}{4}\] Clearly \[\frac{3}{4}\le A\le 1\]
