Let the distance of P (a cos θ, 2 sin θ) from (0, – 2) is L.

∴ L2 = (a cos θ – 0)2 + (2 sin θ + 2)2
⇒
w
For max. or min. value of L,

w
⇒ cos θ [–2a2 sin θ + 8 sin θ + 8] = 0

⇒ Either cos θ = 0 or (8 – 2a2) sin θ + 8 = 0

as a2 < 8
∴ L is max. at θ = π/2 and the farthest point is (0, 2).
75. f (x) = sin3 x + λ sin2 x for – π/2 < x < π/2
∴ f ‘ (x) = 3 sin2 x cos x + 2λ sin x cos x
or λ = sin x
oo
Now put f ‘ (x) = 0 ⇒ x = 0
eb
Also, f “ (x) = cos 2x (3 sin x + 2λ)
.je
Now for , we have
f “ (x) = 3 sin x cos2 x = – 2λ cos2 x

When, if 0 < x < π/2, then – 3/2 < λ < 0 and hence f “ (x) > 0.
⇒ f (x) has one minimum for this value of λ.
w
Now for x = 0, we have f “ (0) = 2λ < 0.

Hence, f (x) has a maximum at x = 0
w
Again if – π/2 < x < 0, then 0 < λ < 3/2 and hence
f “ (x) = – 2λ cos2 x < 0.
∴ f (x) has a maximum.
w
Now for x = 0, f “ (a) = 2λ > 0 so that f (x) has a minimum.

Hence, for exactly one maximum and minimum value of f (x), λ must lie
in the interval
– 3/2 < λ < 0 or 0 < λ < 3/2 i.e., λ ∈ (–3/2, 0) ∪ (0, 3/2)
