For $x \in I R, 3 \cos (4 x-5)+4$ lies in the interval

For $x \in I R, 3 \cos (4 x-5)+4$ lies in the interval
  1. $[1,7]$
  2. $[4,7]$
  3. $[0,7]$
  4. $[2,7]$

Solution

Since, the value of $\cos \theta$ lies between -1 and +1 $ \begin{aligned} & \text { i.e. }-1 \leq \cos \theta \leq 1 \\ & \therefore \quad-1 \leq \cos (4 x-5) \leq 1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad-3 \leq 3 \cos (4 x-5) \leq 3 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4-3 \leq 3 \cos (4 x-5)+4 \leq 3+4 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 1 \leq 3 \cos (4 x-5)+4 \leq 7 \\ & \end{aligned} $
