    The greatest value of \[si{{n}^{3}}x+co{{s}^{3}}x\]is

    A)  \[1\]             

    B)  \[2\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{2}\]           

    D)  \[\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let  \[y={{\sin }^{3}}x+{{\cos }^{3}}x\] \[\frac{dy}{dx\,}=3{{\sin }^{2}}\,x\,\cos x-3\,{{\cos }^{2}}x\,\sin x\] \[=3\sin x\,\cos x(\sin x-\cos x)\] Put \[\frac{dy}{dx}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[3\,\sin x\,\cos x(sin\,x-cos\,x)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=0,\,\frac{\pi }{2}\] or \[\frac{\pi }{4}\] Now, y has its maximum value at \[x=0\] or \[\frac{\pi }{2},\] and \[{{y}_{\max }}=1\]
