We have
2sinx=|x|+a.
Consider graphs of y=2sinx and y=|x|.
ocr_image
Equation 2sinx=|x|+a will have a solution so long as the line y=|x|+a intersects or at least touches the curve, y=2sinx. In this case, we must have
dy/dx=2cosx=1= Slope of the line
x=π/3.
Hence, the solution does not exist if π3+a>2sinπ3
a>33π3
