    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;
