Find the range of the function f ( x ) = 1 4 cos 2 x + 6 sin x cos x + 8 sin 2 x f(x) = \dfrac1{4\cos^2 x + 6\sin x \cos x + 8\sin^2 x} .

[ 0 , 2 ] [0,2] [ 6 + 13 , 6 13 ] [6+\sqrt{13}, 6-\sqrt{13} ] [ 0 , 1 6 13 ] \left [ 0 , \frac1{6-\sqrt{13}} \right ] [ 1 6 + 13 , 1 6 13 ] \left [ \frac1{6+\sqrt{13}} , \frac1{6-\sqrt{13}} \right ]

Hence it follows min(f(x))= 1/(6+sqrt(13)) and max(f(x))=1/(6-sqrt(13)) Hence the 4th option is the answer.

Right! Try out this: f(x)=sin^2 x+cos^4 x Find domain and range
