The maximum value of $f(x) = \sin (x)$ in the interval $[-\pi / 2, \pi / 2]$ is

Let $P(x) = x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d$ be such that $x = 0$ is the only real root of $P'(x) = 0$. If $P(-1) < P(1)$,then in the interval $[-1, 1]$:

The area (in sq. units) of the largest rectangle $ABCD$ whose vertices $A$ and $B$ lie on the $x$-axis and vertices $C$ and $D$ lie on the parabola $y = x^{2}-1$ below the $x$-axis,is

If $f(x)=p x^3+q x^2+r x+t$ attains local minimum and local maximum values at $x=-2$ and $x=2$ respectively and $p$ is a root of $9 x^2-1=0$,then $p+q+r=$

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of a function $f$ given by $f(x) = 2x^{3} - 15x^{2} + 36x + 1$ on the interval $[1, 5]$.

Let $AP$ and $BQ$ be two vertical poles at points $A$ and $B$,respectively. If $AP=16 \, m, BQ=22 \, m$ and $AB=20 \, m,$ then find the distance of a point $R$ on $AB$ from the point $A$ such that $RP^2 + RQ^2$ is minimum. (in $, m$)
