Question

The minimum value of 4Sin2Sin^2​θ+5Cos2Cos^2​θ is:

A.

0

B.

2

C.

1

D.

4

Correct option is D

Given 

4Sin2θ+5Cos2θ4Sin^2\theta + 5Cos^2 \theta

Concept used:

Use the identity:

sin2+cos2=1sin⁡^2+cos⁡^2=1

Solution:

we can express one trigonometric function in terms of the other.

x= sin2θsin^2 \theta Then, we can write Cos2θCos^2\theta = 1- x

​substitute into the expression:

4Sin2θ+5Cos2θ4Sin^2\theta + 5Cos^2 \theta = 4x + 5 (1-x)

​4x + 5 (1-x) 

4x + 5 - 5x

-x +5

So the expression becomes-

4Sin2θ+5Cos2θ4Sin^2\theta + 5Cos^2 \theta = -x + 5

​Minimize the expression

Minimize −x+5 The value of x (i.e.,sin2θ\sin^2 \theta​) ranges from 0 to 1

When x=0 ,

−x+5= −0+5 = 5

When x=1

−x+5 = −1+5 = 4

Thus, the minimum value occurs when x = 1 and the minimum value of the expression is;
