Question
Let f (x) = sinx + ax + b. Then f(x) = 0 has
Options:
A .  only  one  real root which is  positive if a > 1, b 
B .  only  one  real root which is negative if a > 1, b 
C .  only one real root which is negative if a  0
D .  CAN'T SAY ANYTHING
Answer: Option A
:
A
f'(x) = - cosx + a, if a > 1,then f(x) entirely increasing. So f(x) =0 has only one real root, which is positive if f(0) < 0 and negative if f(0) > 0.
Similarly when a < -1. Then f(x) entirely decreasing. So f(x) has only one real root which is negative if f(0) < 0 and positive if f(0) > 0
