If 12 sin x − 9 sin²x Attains Maximum Value at x = α, Find sin α

If 12 sin x − 9 sin²x Attains Maximum Value at x = α, Find sin α

Question: If \[ 12\sin x-9\sin^2x \] attains its maximum value at \[ x=\alpha \] then write the value of \[ \sin\alpha \]

Solution

Let \[ \sin x=t \]

Then, \[ 12\sin x-9\sin^2x = 12t-9t^2 \]

\[ = -9\left(t-\frac23\right)^2+4 \]

Maximum value occurs when \[ \left(t-\frac23\right)^2=0 \]

\[ t=\frac23 \]

Since \[ t=\sin x \] and \[ x=\alpha \]

\[ \boxed{\sin\alpha=\frac23} \]
