Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

α=∑k=1αsin⁡2k(π6)\alpha = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\alpha {{{\sin }^{2k}}\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right)}

=sin⁡2(π6)+sin⁡4(π6)+sin⁡6(π6) + ......= {\sin ^2}\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right) + {\sin ^4}\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right) + {\sin ^6}\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right)\, + \,......

This is a infinite G.P.

∴\therefore α=sin⁡2(π6)1−sin⁡2(π6)\alpha = {{{{\sin }^2}\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right)} \over {1 - {{\sin }^2}\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right)}}

=141−14= {{{1 \over 4}} \over {1 - {1 \over 4}}}

=14×43= {1 \over 4} \times {4 \over 3}

=13= {1 \over 3}

∴\therefore g(x)=2x3+213(1−x)g(x) = {2^{{x \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}}

Given x∈[0,1]x \in [0,1]

We know,

AM≥GMAM \ge GM

For 2x3{2^{{x \over 3}}} and 213(1−x){2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}} both are positive in x∈[0,1]x \in [0,1]

xx3+213(1−x)2≥(2x3 . 213(1−x))12{{{x^{{x \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}}} \over 2} \ge {\left( {{2^{{x \over 3}}}\,.\,{2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}}} \right)^{{1 \over 2}}}

⇒2x3+213(1−x)2≥(213)12\Rightarrow {{{2^{{x \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}}} \over 2} \ge {\left( {{2^{{1 \over 3}}}} \right)^{{1 \over 2}}}

⇒2x3+213(1−x)≥2 . 216\Rightarrow {2^{{x \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}} \ge 2\,.\,{2^{{1 \over 6}}}

⇒g(x)≥276\Rightarrow g(x) \ge {2^{{7 \over 6}}}

We know, AM=GMAM = GM when terms are equal.

∴\therefore g(x)=276g(x) = {2^{{7 \over 6}}} when

2x3=213(1−x){2^{{x \over 3}}} = {2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}}

⇒x3=1−x3\Rightarrow {x \over 3} = {{1 - x} \over 3}

⇒2x=1\Rightarrow 2x = 1

⇒x=12\Rightarrow x = {1 \over 2}

∴\therefore At x=12x = {1 \over 2} , [g(x)]min⁡=276{\left[ {g(x)} \right]_{\min }} = {2^{{7 \over 6}}}

∴\therefore Option (A) is correct.

And option (D) is wrong as at only at a single point x=12, g(x)x = {1 \over 2},\,g(x) is minimum.

Now, g(x)=2x3+213(1−x)g(x) = {2^{{x \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}(1 - x)}}

=2x3+2132x3= {2^{{x \over 3}}} + {{{2^{{1 \over 3}}}} \over {{2^{{x \over 3}}}}}

=2x3+213 . 2−x3= {2^{{x \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}}}\,.\,{2^{ - {x \over 3}}}

∴\therefore g′(x)=2x3 . log⁡2 . 13+213 . 2−x3 . log⁡2 . (−13)g'(x) = {2^{{x \over 3}}}\,.\,\log 2\,.\,{1 \over 3} + {2^{{1 \over 3}}}\,.\,{2^{ - {x \over 3}}}\,.\,\log 2\,.\,\left( { - {1 \over 3}} \right)

=13log⁡2[2x3−2132x3]= {1 \over 3}\log 2\left[ {{2^{{x \over 3}}} - {{{2^{{1 \over 3}}}} \over {{2^{{x \over 3}}}}}} \right]

=13log⁡2[22x3+2132x3]= {1 \over 3}\log 2\left[ {{{{2^{{{2x} \over 3}}} + {2^{{1 \over 3}}}} \over {{2^{{x \over 3}}}}}} \right]

We already found that at x=12x = {1 \over 2} g(x)g(x) is minimum.

∴\therefore g′(x)=0g'(x) = 0 at x=12x = {1 \over 2}

Now, g'(x) > 0 when

{1 \over 3}\log \left[ {{{{2^{{{2x} \over 3}}} - {2^{{1 \over 3}}}} \over {{2^{{x \over 3}}}}}} \right] > 0

\Rightarrow {2^{{{2x} \over 3}}} > {2^{{1 \over 3}}}

\Rightarrow {{2x} \over 3} > {1 \over 3}

\Rightarrow x > {1 \over 2}

Similarly, g'(x) < 0 when x < {1 \over 2}

If we put it in number line we get this

We know g′(x)g'(x) represent slope of curve g(x)g(x) and it is negative when x < {1 \over 2} and positive when x > {1 \over 2} and zero when x=12x = {1 \over 2} .

∴\therefore Graph of g(x)g(x) is

JEE Advanced 2022 Paper 2 Online Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 3 English Explanation 2

From graph you can see value of g(x)g(x) is maximum either at x=0x = 0 or x=1x = 1 in the range x∈[0,1]x \in [0,1] .

∴\therefore g(0)=20+213=1+213g(0) = {2^0} + {2^{{1 \over 3}}} = 1 + {2^{{1 \over 3}}}

g(1)=213+20=1+213g(1) = {2^{{1 \over 3}}} + {2^0} = 1 + {2^{{1 \over 3}}}

∴\therefore We get maximum value at x=0x = 0 and x=1x = 1 both.

∴\therefore B and C options are correct.
