Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(f(x)=\sin 5 x \cdot \cos 3 x\). \[ =\frac{1}{2}(2 \sin 5 x \cdot \cos 3 x)=\frac{1}{2}(\sin 8 x+\sin 2 x) \] Clearly, \(\sin 8 x\) is periodic with period \(\frac{2 \pi}{8}=\frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(\sin 2 x\) is periodic with period \(\frac{2 \pi}{2}=\pi\).…
