Class 12 Maths · Applications Of Derivatives · Short Answer #42

Prove that y=4sinθ/(2+cosθ)−θ is strictly increasing on [0,π/2].

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Strictly increasing on [0,π/2].
  1. By the quotient rule y′=4(2cosθ+1)/(2+cosθ)²−1.
  2. Simplify to y′=cosθ(4−cosθ)/(2+cosθ)², positive for 0≤θ<π/2.
  3. The function is continuous on the closed interval and has positive derivative in its interior, hence is strictly increasing on [0,π/2].
