The number of points in-,, for whichx2-xsinx-cosx=0, is:

Question diagram: The number of points in - ∞ , ∞ , for which x 2 - x sin x -

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

fx=x2-xsinx-cosx

f'x=2x-xcosx-sinx+sinx

 =x2-cosx

We know that, 2-cosx is positive for all real numbers, now it depends on x

So,fxis increasing if x>0

fx is decreasing if  x<0

f0=-1

f=

f-=

So, it is clear that graph cuts the x-axis at two points, so number of solutions are two.
