Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{2} \leq k \leq \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let, \(f(x)=\sin x(\sin x+\cos x)\) \(=\sin ^{2} x+\sin x \cos x\) \(=\frac{1-\cos 2 x}{2}+\frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{2}\) \(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \cos 2 x+\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 x\) \(=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}(\sin 2 x-\cos 2 x)\)…
