Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

The range of the function $f(x)=\sqrt{3-x}+\sqrt{2+x}$ is :

  1. A $[2 \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{11}]$
  2. B $[\sqrt{5}, \sqrt{13}]$
  3. C $[\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{7}]$
  4. D $[\sqrt{5}, \sqrt{10}]$ Correct answer

Solution

<p>$f(x) = \sqrt {3 - x} + \sqrt {x + 2}$</p> <p>$y' = {{ - 1} \over {2\sqrt 3 - x}} + {1 \over {2\sqrt {x + 2} }} = 0$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow \sqrt x + 2 = \sqrt 3 - x$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow x = {1 \over 2}$</p> <p>$$y\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right) = \sqrt {{5 \over 2}} + \sqrt {{5 \over 2}} = \sqrt {10} $$</p> <p>${y_{\min }}$ at $x = - 2$ or $x = 3$, i.e., $\sqrt 5$</p> <p>$\therefore$ $f(x) \in [\sqrt 5 ,\sqrt {10} ]$</p>
