MCQ
The maximum value of $\sin x\,\,(1 + \cos x)$ will be at the
  • A
    $x = {\pi \over 2}$
  • B
    $x = {\pi \over 6}$
  • $x = {\pi \over 3}$
  • D
    $x = \pi $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$x = {\pi \over 3}$
c
(c) $y = \sin x(1 + \cos x)$$ = \sin x + \frac{1}{2}\sin 2x$

$\therefore$ $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \cos x + \cos 2x$ and $\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = - \sin x - 2\sin 2x$

On putting $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$, $\cos x + \cos 2x = 0$

==> $\cos x = - \cos 2x = \cos (\pi - 2x)$==> $x = \pi - 2x$

$\therefore$ $x = \frac{\pi }{3}$;

$\therefore$  ${\left( {\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}} \right)_{x = \pi /3}} = - \sin \left( {\frac{1}{3}\pi } \right) - 2\sin \left( {\frac{2}{3}\pi } \right)$

$= \frac{{ - \sqrt 3 }}{2} - 2.\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} =  \frac{{ - 3\sqrt 3 }}{2}$, which is negative.

$\therefore$ At $x = \frac{\pi }{3}$ the function is maximum.
