Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=3 \sin ^{12} x+4 \cos ^{16} x\) Maximum value of \(\sin ^{12} x\) and \(\cos ^{16} x\) is 1 and minimum value is 0 . \(\therefore\) Value of \(f(x)\) is maximum when \(\sin ^{12} x=0\) and \(\cos ^{16} x=1\). \(\therefore\) Maximum value of \(f(x)=4\).
