As x increases from Pi/4 to 3Pi/4, |sin(2x)|

  1. always increases

  2. always decreases

  3. increases then decreases

  4. decreases then increases


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's analyze the given expression |sin(2x)| as x increases from π/4 to 3π/4.

The function sin(2x) is an oscillating function with a period of π. That means it completes one full cycle from 0 to 2π.

When x increases from π/4 to 3π/4, we can see that the values of 2x also increase. Let's consider the values of 2x within the given range:

When x = π/4, 2x = 2(π/4) = π/2 When x = 3π/4, 2x = 2(3π/4) = 3π/2

Now, let's evaluate the absolute value of sin(2x) at these two points:

|sin(π/2)| = 1 |sin(3π/2)| = |sin(π + π/2)| = |sin(π/2)| = 1

We can observe that the absolute value of sin(2x) is equal to 1 at both x = π/4 and x = 3π/4.

Therefore, as x increases from π/4 to 3π/4, |sin(2x)| does not always increase or always decrease. Instead, it remains constant at 1 throughout this interval.

Hence, the correct answer is D) decreases then increases.
