The minimum value of \(2^{sin x}+2^{cos x}\) is

  1. A \(2^{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\)
  2. B \(2^{-1+\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C \(2^{1-\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(2^{-1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2^{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Usnign \(AM \geq GM\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{2^{\sin x}+2^{\cos x}}{2} \geq \sqrt{2^{\sin x} \cdot 2^{\cos x}}\) \(\Rightarrow 2^{\sin x}+2^{\cos x} \geq 2^{1+\left(\frac{\sin x+\cos x}{2}\right)}\) \(\Rightarrow \min \left(2^{\sin x}+2^{\cos x}\right)=2^{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\)
