Functions : Range

Geometry Level 3

Find the range of f ( x ) = 3 sin ( x ) 2 cos ( x ) f(x) = 3 \left| \sin(x) \right| - 2\left|\cos(x) \right| .

[ 3 , 2 ] [-3,2] [ 2 , 13 ] [-2,\sqrt{13}] [ 2 , 3 ] [-2,3] [ 3 , 13 ] [3,\sqrt{13}]

f(x)=3|sin(x)| -2|cos(x)| Here we need to maximize the first term and minimize the second term.Max possible value of the 1st term =3 at x=pi/2 Similarly minimum value of second term will be 0 at x=pi/2 So max value=3

Similarly to minimize this we need max of second term and min of first which we get at x=0. i.e -2

Hence the range is[-2,3]
