Let M and m respectively be the maximum and the minimum values of
$f(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+\sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ \sin ^2 x & 1+\cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ \sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 1+4 \sin 4 x\end{array}\right|, x \in R$
Then $ M^4 - m^4 $ is equal to :
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1+\sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\
\sin ^2 x & 1+\cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\
\sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 1+4 \sin 4 x
\end{array}\right|, x \in R \\
& R_2 \rightarrow R_2-R_1 \& R_3 \rightarrow R_3-R_1 \\
& f(x)\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1+\sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\
-1 & 1 & 0 \\
-1 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right|
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Expand about $\mathrm{R}_1$, we get</p>
<p>$f(x)=2+4 \sin 4 x$</p>
<p>$\therefore M=\max$ value of $f(x)=6$</p>
<p>$\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{min}$ value of $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=-2$</p>
<p>$\therefore \mathrm{M}^4-\mathrm{m}^4=1280$</p>
