Question

At x= \[\frac{5\pi}{6}\] f(x) = 2 sin 3x + 3 cos 3x is ______________ .

Options

• 0

• maximum

• minimum

• none of these

Answer 1

none of these

 

\[\text { Given }: f\left( x \right) = 2 \sin 3x + 3 \cos 3x\]

\[ \Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) = 6 \cos 3x - 9 \sin 3x\]

\[\text { For a local minima or a local maxima, we must have }\]

\[f'\left( x \right) = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow 6 \cos 3x - 9 \sin 3x = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow 6 \cos 3x = 9 \sin 3x\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\sin 3x}{\cos 3x} = \frac{2}{3}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \tan 3x = \frac{2}{3} . . . \left( 1 \right)\]

\[\text { At x } = \frac{5\pi}{6}: \]

\[\tan 3x = \tan \frac{5\pi}{2}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \tan 3x = \tan \frac{\pi}{2}\]

\[\text { So,} \tan 3x \text { is not defined }. \left[ \tan 3x \neq \frac{2}{3} \text { is not satisfying eq } . \left( 1 \right) \right]\]

\[\text { Thus, }x = \frac{5\pi}{6}\text {  is not a critical point } .\]
