The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the longest interval in which the function \( A = 3\sin x - 4\sin^3 x \) is increasing, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the derivative of the function To determine where the function is increasing, we first find its derivative: \[ A' = \frac{d}{dx}(3\sin x - 4\sin^3 x) \] Using the chain rule and the power rule, we differentiate: \[ A' = 3\cos x - 12\sin^2 x \cos x \] This can be factored as: \[ A' = 3\cos x(1 - 4\sin^2 x) \] ### Step 2: Set the derivative greater than zero For the function to be increasing, we need: \[ A' > 0 \implies 3\cos x(1 - 4\sin^2 x) > 0 \] This implies two conditions must hold: 1. \( \cos x > 0 \) 2. \( 1 - 4\sin^2 x > 0 \) ### Step 3: Solve the inequalities **Condition 1: \( \cos x > 0 \)** This occurs in the intervals: \[ -\frac{\pi}{2} < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \] **Condition 2: \( 1 - 4\sin^2 x > 0 \)** Rearranging gives: \[ 4\sin^2 x < 1 \implies \sin^2 x < \frac{1}{4} \implies -\frac{1}{2} < \sin x < \frac{1}{2} \] The values of \( x \) satisfying this condition can be found by considering the sine function: \[ \sin x = \frac{1}{2} \implies x = \frac{\pi}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{\pi}{6} \] ### Step 4: Combine the intervals Now we combine the intervals from both conditions: - From \( \cos x > 0 \): \( -\frac{\pi}{2} < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \) - From \( -\frac{1}{2} < \sin x < \frac{1}{2} \): \( -\frac{\pi}{6} < x < \frac{\pi}{6} \) The intersection of these intervals gives: \[ -\frac{\pi}{6} < x < \frac{\pi}{6} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the length of the interval The length of the interval \( \left(-\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \) is: \[ \text{Length} = \frac{\pi}{6} - \left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Final Answer The length of the longest interval in which the function \( 3\sin x - 4\sin^3 x \) is increasing is: \[ \frac{\pi}{3} \] ---
