JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 2nd September Evening Slot - No. 2)

If the equation cos4 $$\theta $$ + sin4 $$\theta $$ + $$\lambda $$ = 0 has real solutions for $$\theta $$, then $$\lambda $$ lies in the interval :
$$\left[ { - {3 \over 2}, - {5 \over 4}} \right]$$
$$\left( { - {1 \over 2}, - {1 \over 4}} \right]$$
$$\left( { - {5 \over 4}, - 1} \right]$$
$$\left[ { - 1, - {1 \over 2}} \right]$$

Explanation

cos4 $$\theta $$ + sin4 $$\theta $$ + $$\lambda $$ = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 1 – 2sin2 $$\theta $$ cos2 $$\theta $$ = -$$\lambda $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 1 - $$\frac{1}{2} \times 4$$sin2 $$\theta $$ cos2 $$\theta $$ = -$$\lambda $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 1 - $$\frac{\sin^{2} 2\theta }{2} $$ = -$$\lambda $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$2($$\lambda $$ + 1) = sin2 2$$\theta $$

0 $$ \le $$ 2 ($$\lambda $$ + 1) $$ \le $$ 1

0 $$ \le $$ ($$\lambda $$ + 1) $$ \le $$ $$\frac{1}{2} $$

-1 $$ \le $$ $$\lambda $$ $$ \le $$ -$$\frac{1}{2} $$
