The maximum value of `y = sqrt((x-3)^(2)+(x^(2)-2)^(2))-sqrt(x^(2)-(x^(2)-1)^(2))` isA. 3B. `sqrt(10)`C. `2sqrt(5)`D. none of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - B `y = f(x) = sqrt((x^(2)-2)^(2)+(x-3)^(2)) -sqrt(x^(2)+(x^(2)-1)^(2))` Note that the first radical sign describes the distance between `P(x,x^(2))` and `A(3,2)` whereas the second radical sign describes the distance between `P(x,x^(2))` and `B(0,1)`. Now `PA -PB le AB` for possible positions of P. Hence `f(x)]_(max) =` distance between `AB = sqrt(9+1) = sqrt(10)` |
