Let $f(x) = \max(\sin x, \cos x)$ and $g(x) = \min(\cos x, \sin x)$. Define $h(y) = f(x)y^2 + ay + g(x)$. If the equation $h(y) = 0$ has real roots for all $x \in R$,find the complete set of values of $a$.

  • A
    $a \in (-\infty, -\sqrt{2}] \cup [\sqrt{2}, \infty)$
  • B
    $a \in [-\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}]$
  • C
    $a \in R$
  • D
    None of these
