The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$(K-2) x^2 + 8x + K + 4 = 0$ If real roots then, $8^{2}$ $-4\left(K-2\right)\left(K+4\right) > 0$ $\Rightarrow K^{2} + 2K-S<16$ $\Rightarrow \left(K+6\right)\left(K-4\right)<0$ $\Rightarrow -6 < K < 4$ If both roots are negative then $\alpha\beta$ is $+ve$ $\Rightarrow \frac{K+4}{K-2} >0 \Rightarrow K >-4$ Also, $\frac{K-2}{K+4} >0 \Rightarrow K >2$ Roots are real so, $- 6 < K < 4$ So, 6 and 4 are not correct. Since, $K > 2$, so 1 is also not correct value of $K$. $\therefore K=3$

Limits of Trigonometric Functions

Assume a is any number in the general domain of the corresponding trigonometric function, then we can explain the following limits.

Limits of Trigonometric Functions

We know that the graphs of the functions y = sin x and y = cos x detain distinct values between -1 and 1 as represented in the above figure. Thus, the function is swinging between the values, so it will be impossible for us to obtain the limit of y = sin x and y = cos x as x tends to ±∞. Hence, the limits of all six trigonometric functions when x tends to ±∞ are tabulated below:
