MCQ
The set of all values of $\lambda$ for which the equation $\cos ^2 2 x-2 \sin ^4 x-2 \cos ^2 x=\lambda$
- A$[-2,-1]$
- B$\left[-2,-\frac{3}{2}\right]$
- C$\left[-1,-\frac{1}{2}\right]$
- ✓$\left[-\frac{3}{2},-1\right]$
$\text { convert all in to } \cos x \text {. }$
$\lambda=\left(2 \cos ^2 x-1\right)^2-2\left(1-\cos ^2 x\right)^2-2 \cos ^2 x$
$=4 \cos ^4 x-4 \cos ^2 x+1-2\left(1-2 \cos ^2 x+\cos ^4 x\right)-$
$2 \cos ^2 x$
$=2 \cos ^4 x-2 \cos ^2 x+1-2$
$=2 \cos ^4 x-2 \cos ^2 x-1$
$=2\left[\cos ^4 x-\cos ^2 x-\frac{1}{2}\right]$
$=2\left[\left(\cos ^2 x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2-\frac{3}{4}\right]$
$\left.\lambda_{\max }=2\left[\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{4}\right]=2 \times\left(-\frac{2}{4}\right)=-1 \text { (max Value }\right)$
$\left.\lambda_{\min }=2\left[0-\frac{3}{4}\right]=-\frac{3}{2} \text { (MinimumValue }\right)$
$\text { So, Range }=\left[-\frac{3}{2},-1\right]$
