If `asinx+bcos(x+theta)+bcos(x-theta)=d ,` then the minimum value of `|costheta|` is equal to (a)`1/(2|b|)sqrt(d^2-a^2)` (b) `1/(2|a|)sqrt(d^2-a^2)` (c)`1/(2|d|)sqrt(d^2-a^2)` (d) none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`asinx+b[2cosxcostheta]=d`
`asinx+(2bcostheta)cosx=d`
`|d|<=sqrt(a^2+(2bcostheta)^2`
`|d|<=sqrt(a^2+4b^2cos^2theta`
`d^2<=a^2+4b^2cos^2theta`
`(d^2-a^2)/(4b^2)<=cos^2theta`
`|costheta|>=sqrt(d^2-a^2)/(2|B|)`
Option A is correct.
