Correct answer
A
Step-by-step explanation
f(x) = sin2 x( + sinx) ....(1)
f'(x) = 2sinx cosx ( +sinx) + sin2x (cosx)
f'(x) = sin2x()
For maixma and minima, f'(x) = 0
sin2x = 0 or 2 + 3sinx = 0
when sin2x = 0 x = 0
or when 2 + 3sinx = 0
sin x =
As
-1 < sinx < 1
-1 < < 1
< <
- {0}
Note : If = 0 f(x) = sin3x [from (1)]
Which is monotonic. so no maxima/minima.
