Given functions and , if for , it always holds that , then the maximum value of the positive real number is ____.
Solution
Given the functions and , we are asked to find the maximum value of the positive real number for which always holds for .
First, we observe that the inequality can be rewritten as:
This suggests defining a new function , which implies that is monotonically increasing on the interval .
Next, we calculate :
\begin{align*}
h(x) &= \sin(2x+\frac{\pi}{4}) - \sin(2x+\frac{3\pi}{4}) \\
&= \sin(2x+\frac{\pi}{4}) - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + (2x+\frac{\pi}{4})\right) \\
&= \sin(2x+\frac{\pi}{4}) - \cos(2x+\frac{\pi}{4}) \\
&= \sqrt{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin(2x+\frac{\pi}{4}) - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos(2x+\frac{\pi}{4})\right) \\
&= \sqrt{2}\sin(2x).
\end{align*}
The function is monotonically increasing in the intervals where , for . This translates to intervals of as , for .
For , the interval where is monotonically increasing is . Beyond this interval, specifically in , starts to decrease.
Therefore, to ensure is monotonically increasing on the interval , the maximum value of must be .
Hence, the maximum value of the positive real number for which the given condition holds is .
