The least value of the function (x) = 2cosx + x in the closed interval [0,π/2] is :(a) 2(b) π/6 + √3(c) π/2(d) The least value does not exist.

Answer»

Option : (c)

f(x) = 2cosx + x, x ∈ [0,π/2]

f'(x) = −2sinx + 1

Letf′(x) = 0 

⇒ x = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) ∈ [0,\(\frac{\pi}{2}\)]

f(0) = 2

f (\(\frac{\pi}{6}\)) = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) + √3

f (\(\frac{\pi}{2}\)) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) 

⇒ least value of f(x) is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) at x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
