If `sin^(4)alpha+cos^(4)beta+2=4 sin alpha cos beta, 0 le alpha, (pi)/(2)`, then `(sin alpha+cos beta)` is equal to

A

`-1`

B

`sqrt(2)`

C

`-sqrt(3)`

D

0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
By applying `AM ge GM` inequality, on the numbers
`sin^(4) alpha, 4 cos^(2) beta`, 1 and 1, we get
`(sin^(4) alpha + 4 cos^(2) beta + 2)/(4)le (( sin^(4) alpha )(4cos^(4) beta).1.)^(1//4)`
`rArr sin^(4) alpha + 4 cos^(4) Beta + 2 ge 4sqrt(2)sin alpha cos beta`
But, it is given that
`sin^(4) alpha + 4 cos^(4) beta + 2 = 4sqrt(2)sin alpha cos beta`
So, `sin^(4) alpha= 4 cos ^(4) beta =1`
`[because In AM ge GM`, equality holds when all given positive quantites are equal.]
`rArr sin alpha = 1` and `sin beta = (1)/(sqrt(2)) " "......(i)`
Now, `cos (alpha + beta) -cos (alpha + beta)= - 2sin alpha sin beta " "[because alpha, beta in [0, pi]]`
`[because cos C - cos D = 2sin .(C + D)/(2)sin .(D-C)/(2)]`
`= -2 xx 1 xx (1)/(sqrt(2)) " "["From Eq. (i)"]`
`= - sqrt(2)`
