Let g(x) = x sin2x
g(x) = 1 sin2x 0 for all x
thus g (x) is a non decreasing function.
Also g(x) = 0, so curve of g(x) will be as follows
For f (x) = g(x) a
If a > 0, a < 0, curve shifts a unit downward, gives
only one +ve solution.
If a < 0, a > 0, curve shifts upward, gives only one

Clearly f(x) has a local minimum at x= 1, as f(1) < f (1 h) and f (1) < f(1 + h). If we shift the
curve |x 1| 5 units upwards we get f (1) < f (1 h) and f (1) < f (1 + h) thus for a 5.
