  • Question
  • 5 sin(x)+ 12 cos(x) + r is always greater than or equal to zero. What is the smallest value satisfied by 'r' ?


  • Options
  • A. -13
  • B. 11
  • C. 13
  • D. -11

  • Correct Answer
  • 13 

    Explanation

    Given,

     5sinx + 12cosx ? -r 

    ? 13 5 13 sin   x   +   12 13 cos   x   ?   - r cosx) ? -r 

    5 13 = cosA => sinA = 12 13

     

    => 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ? -r

     

    => 13(sin(x + A)) ? -r

     

    we know that , -1 ? sin (angle) ? 1

     

    => 13sin (x + A) ? -13 ? r m i n   = 13
