    Question

    Let f:R→R be defined as f(x) = cosx + sinx. Then the

    range of f(x) is:Β 
    A [–1, 1] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B [–2, 2] Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (–1, 1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (β€“βˆš2, √2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We are given the function f(x) = cosx + sinx , and asked to find its range . To determine the range, observe that this is a standard form of a trigonometric identity. We can write: f(x) = cosx + sinx = √2{(cosx / √2) + (sinx/√2)} = √2 sin(x+Ο€/4)
    This uses the identity: Where tan Ο• = b/a. In our case, a = 1, b = 1, so: f(x) = √2 sin(x+Ο€/4)
    Since sin(ΞΈ) always lies in [βˆ’1,1], it follows that: f(x) = √2 sin(x+Ο€/4) ∈ [βˆ’2​,2​].
