Question

Show that the function secx+logcos2x has maximum at x=0 and minimum at x=π/3.Given xϵ[π2,π2]

Open in App
Solution

f(x)=secx+logcosx²
f(x)=secx+2logcosx
Therefore, f'(x)=secx tanx2tanx=tanx(secx2)
f'(x)=0tanx=0 or secx=2 or cosx=1/2
f(x)>0 for xϵ(π2,0)(π3,π2)
f(x)<0 for xϵ(0,π3)
Hence, F(x) has maxima at x=0 and has minima at x=π3
