Q33 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2020 (Paper 1) · Mathematics

Let f:0, 2→ℝ be the function defined by

fx=3−sin2πxsinπx−π4−sin3πx+π4.

If α, β∈0, 2 are such that x∈0, 2 :fx≥0=α, β, then the value of β−α is _____

Correct answer: 1

Solution

Let πx−π4=θ⇒πx=θ+π4

∵fx≥0⇒3−sin2θ+π2sinθ−sin3θ+π≥0

⇒3−cos2θsinθ+sin3θ≥0

⇒2+2sin2θsinθ+3sinθ−4sin3θ≥0

⇒sinθ5−2sin2θ≥0

⇒sinθ≥0⇒θ∈0, π

(Since, x∈0, 2⇒πx∈0, 2π⇒θ∈−π4, 7π4)

⇒sinθ≥0⇒θ∈0, π⇒πx∈π4,5π4

⇒x∈14, 54⇒α=14, β=54

Thus, β-α=54-14=1.

Hence, the correct answer is 1.
