Correct Answer - Option 1 : [3, 4]

Concept:

-1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1

0 ≤ sin2 x ≤ 1

Calculation:

Given:

f(x) = 3 sin2 x + 4 cos2 x

= 3 sin2 x + 3 cos2 x +  cos2 x

= cos2 x + 3 (sin2 x + cos2 x)

= cos2 x + 3                                    (∵sin2 x + cos2 x = 1)

As we know that, 0 ≤ cos2 x ≤ 1

⇒ 3 + 0 ≤ 3 + cos2 x ≤ 3 + 1

⇒ 3 ≤ f(x) ≤ 4

∴ Range of the f(x) is [3, 4]
