Question Number 27821 by bmind4860 last updated on 15/Jan/18

If α and β satisfy sinαcosβ= −(1/2) then  the greatest value of 2cosαsinβ

$${If}\:\alpha\:{and}\:\beta\:{satisfy}\:{sin}\alpha{cos}\beta=\:−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:{then} \\ $$$${the}\:{greatest}\:{value}\:{of}\:\mathrm{2}{cos}\alpha{sin}\beta \\ $$

sin αcos β=−(1/2)  ⇒2sin αcos β=−1  ⇒sin (α+β)+sin (α−β)=−1  greatest value of sin (α+β)=0  when sin (α−β)=−1  and 2sin (α+β)=2sin αcos β                                          +2cos αsin β  so 2cos αsin β=2sin (α+β)+1  greatest value of      2cos αsin β= 1 .

$$\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha\mathrm{cos}\:\beta=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2sin}\:\alpha\mathrm{cos}\:\beta=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)+\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\alpha−\beta\right)=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${greatest}\:{value}\:{of}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${when}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\alpha−\beta\right)=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${and}\:\mathrm{2sin}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)=\mathrm{2sin}\:\alpha\mathrm{cos}\:\beta \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:+\mathrm{2cos}\:\alpha\mathrm{sin}\:\beta \\ $$$${so}\:\mathrm{2cos}\:\alpha\mathrm{sin}\:\beta=\mathrm{2sin}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${greatest}\:{value}\:{of}\: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\mathrm{2cos}\:\alpha\mathrm{sin}\:\beta=\:\mathrm{1}\:. \\ $$

great! this is the best and far better solution from  that lenthy solution of differentiation.
