Question

If the function fx=1+|cos x|λ|cos x|,0<x<π2μ,x=π2ecot 6xcot 4x,π2<x<πis continuous at x=π2, then 9λ+6 logcμ+μ6-e6λ is equal to

D10

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

fx is continuous at x=π2

Now, solving L.H.L. at x=π2 we get,

limxπ+2ecot 6xcot 4x=limxπ+2esin 4x·cos 6xsin 6x·cos 4x=e2/3

Similarly, on simplification for R.H.L. we get

limxπ2-1+|cosx|λ|cosx|=elimxπ2-λ=eλ

 fπ2=μ

For continuous function, 

fπ2-=fπ2=fπ2+

e23=eλ=μ

λ=23,  μ=e23

Now,

9λ+6 logeμ+μ6-e6λ

=9(23)+6(23)+e236-e6(23)

=6+4+e4-e4

=10
