Q.The minimum and maximum values of \(a + b\sin\theta\) are 5 and 6 respectively. Find the values of \(a\) and \(b\). (a) \(a=1, b=5\) (b) \(a=-5, b=1\) (c) \(a=5, b=1\) (d) \(a=-1, b=5\)
Answer: C
The minimum value of \( \sin\theta \) is 0 and the maximum value is 1. ∴ \( a - b \times 0 = 5 \) ⇒ \( a = 5 \) And, \( a + b \times 1 = 6 \) ∴ \( b = 6 - a = 6 - 5 = 1 \)
