Hello Friend,here is the solution for your question
so the given function is
y= √(-2cos²x+3cosx-1)
i.e = √[-2(cos²x-3/2+1/2)]
i.e = √[-2(cosx-3/4)²-9/16+1/2]
i.e. = √[-2(cos-3/4)²-1/16]
i.e. = √[1/8-3(cosx=3/4)²]-----------(1)
Now here in this equation is this quantity :-
(cosx=3/4)²----------------(2) is to it's minimum value then the whole equation
i.e. = √[1/8-3(cosx=3/4)²] will be maximum and vice versa
And we know that cosx-3/4 will be minimum if cosx=3/4
therefore put this in (1) we get
(cosx=3/4)²=0 [ cosx=3/4]
hence the minimum value of the quantity (cosx=3/4)² is 0
put this in equation (1)
we get ,
i.e. = √[1/8-3(cosx=3/4)²]
=√[1/8-3(0)] [ because minimum value of of the quantity (cosx=3/4)² is 0 ]
=√1/8
=1/(2√2)
this is the maximum value now to find the minimum value
since this is function of root so the value of y will always be ≥0
hence the minimum value of the function y is 0
Therefore, the range of function y is [0,1/(2√2)]
