TRIGONOMETRIC EQUATIONS

Exercise 3(C)
Q.1

(B)

For x , we have a1 a 2 sin a 3 cos a 4 sin 2 a 5 cos 2 0 (i)

For x , we have a1 a 2 sin a 3 cos a 4 sin 2 a 5 cos 2 0 (ii)
Now from (i) & (ii)
a1 a 3 cos a 5 cos 2 0 & a 2 sin a 4 sin 2 0
Now a 2 sin a 4 sin 2 0 a 2 2a 3 cos 0
a 2 0, a 3 0
and a1 a 3 cos a 5 cos 2 0 2a 5 cos 2 a 3 cos a1 a 5 0
a 5 0, a 3 0 & a1 a 5

The only possible 5 tuple a1 ,a 2 ,a 3 ,a 4 ,a 5 such that

a1 a 2 sin x a 3 cos x a 4 sin 2x a 5 cos 2x 0 for all x is

{0, 0, 0, 0, 0}.
Q.2

(B)

Let sin 3 x, then

sin 2 sin 3 sin 4 6 x 1 x x 1 6

or x 3 x 6 0
x 2 x 2 2x 3 0
x 2 or sin 1
In 0, 4 ,

2 2

(B)

sin 2 x a cos x a 2 1 cos x for all x R

cos 2 x a 1 cos x a 2 0 for all x R
Let y cos x, then f y y 2 a 1 y a 2
f y 0 for all y 1,1
[1,1] ,
Hence f 1 0 & f 1 0
Now f 1 0 a 1 a 2 0 i.e. a 2 or a 1
and f 1 0 a a 1 0 i.e. a 0 or a 1
Hence a 2 or a 1 , so largest negative integral value of a is -3.

Q.4
Question needs to be corrected.

cos y cos x cos x cos y sin y cos x sin x sin y 0

2

cos y sin x cos x sin y sin y sin x sin x cos y 0

2sin x cos y sin y sin x sin y cos x 0

cot x 2 cot y 1
Hence infinitely many pairs (x, y) will satisfy the above equation.
Q.5

(A)

Refer the graphs of y

(A)

1 tan 1 tan sec2 2tan 0 1 tan 4 2tan 0

2

or 1 2tan tan 4
2

Clearly tan 0 is a solution and further for all , 0 0,
2 2

2tan 1 hence 1 2tan 0 & tan 4 0 .

2

So no solution except 0 in , .

Q.8

(D)

As sin x cos x 2 , hence there will be no solution if y2 y a 2 .

Now y 2 y a

Q.9

(A)

Using A.M. G.M.

4sin 2 x cos ec2 x
4sin 2 x cos ec2 x 4sin 2 x cos ec2 x 4
2
2
tan x cot 2 x
&
tan 2 x cot 2 x tan 2 x cot 2 x 2
2

As both the equalities occur simultaneously for x n , hence

4

4sin 2 x tan 2 x cos ec 2 x cot 2 x 6 x n .

Q.10 (D)
2

1 1

| sin x | | sin x | | sin x | 0 | sin 2 x | | sin x | 2

2 4

Hence 0 b 2 or 2 b 0 .
2

But | sin 2 x | | sin x | 2 occurs only for one value of x so 2 b 0 .
