Question

Let $$x + y = 3 - \cos 4\theta $$    and $$x - y = 4 \sin 2\theta $$    then the greatest of $$xy$$  is

A. $$\frac{3}{4}$$
B. $$1$$  
C. $$\frac{1}{2}$$
D. $$2$$
Answer :   $$1$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & x = \frac{{3 - \cos 4\theta + 4\sin 2\theta }}{2} \cr & = \frac{{3 - \left( {1 - {{\sin }^2}2\theta } \right) + 4\sin 2\theta }}{2} = {\left( {1 + \sin 2\theta } \right)^2} \cr & y = \frac{{3 - \cos 4\theta - 4\sin 2\theta }}{2} \cr & = \frac{{3 - \left( {1 - {{\sin }^2}2\theta } \right) + 4\sin 2\theta }}{2} = {\left( {1 - \sin 2\theta } \right)^2} \cr & \therefore xy = {\left( {1 - {{\sin }^2}2\theta } \right)^2} = {\cos ^4}2\theta \leqslant 1 \cr} $$
