Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (a)

Solution:

  1. We have, θ[2π,2π]

 and 2cos2θ+3sinθ=02(1sin2θ)+3sinθ=022sin2θ+3sinθ=02sin2θ3sinθ2=02sin2θ4sinθ+sinθ2=02sinθ(sinθ2)+1(sinθ2)=0(sinθ2)(2sinθ+1)=0sinθ=12[(sinθ2)0]θ=2ππ6,π+π6,π6,π+π6[θ[2π,2π]]

Now, sum of all solutions

=2ππ6π+π6π6+π+π6=2π
