        Maximum and minimum values of\[6\text{ }sin\text{ }x\text{ }cos\text{ }x+4\text{ }cos\text{ }2x\]are respectively

    A)  5 and\[-5\]

    B) \[2\sqrt{13}\]and\[-2\sqrt{13}\]

    C)  10 and\[-10\]                   

    D)  \[\frac{5}{2}\]and\[-\frac{5}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Let\[f(x)=6\sin x\cos x+4\cos 2x\]           \[f(x)=3(2\sin x\cos x)+4\cos 2x\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f(x)=3\sin 2x+4\cos 2x\] We know that maximum and minimum value of the expression, \[a\sin x+b\cos x\]are\[\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]and\[-\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\] respectively. \[\therefore \]Maximum value of\[f(x)\]                                 \[=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\]and minimum value of \[f(x)=-\sqrt{9+16}=-\sqrt{25}=-5\]
