Product Of Sine And Cosine

Geometry Level 2

Determine the values of k k so that the inequality sin x cos x k \displaystyle{\sin x \cos x\geq k} is satisfied x R \forall x \in \mathbb{R} .

If k 2 k^2 can be written as a b \displaystyle \frac{a}{b} , where a a and b b are relatively prime integers, find a + b a+b .


The answer is 5.

We simply wrote the equation to 1 2 1 2 sin ( 2 x ) 1 2 -\frac{1}{2}≤\frac{1}{2}\sin(2x)≤\frac{1}{2} Which means the lower bond is 0.5 -0.5 , and when squared, gives 1 4 \displaystyle\frac{1}{4} , hence the answer is 5.
