(d) [2,6]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (d)

Solution:

  1. The given trigonometric equation is

cos2x+αsinx=2α712sin2x+αsinx=2α7[cos2x=12sin2x]2sin2xαsinx+2α8=02(sin2x4)α(sinx2)=02(sinx2)(sinx+2)α(sinx2)=0

(sinx2)(2sinx+4α)=02sinx+4α=0sinx=α42

[sinx20]

Now, as we know 1sinx1

1α4212α422α6α[2,6]
