Q.

If 2sin3x+sin2xcosx+4sinx-4=0 has exactly 3 solutions in the interval [0,nπ2], n∈N, then the roots of the equation x2+nx+(n-3)=0 belong to      [2024]

1 (0,∞)  
2 (-∞,0)  
3 (-172,172)  
4 Z  

Ans.

(2)

2sin3x+sin2xcosx+4sinx-4=0

⇒ 2sin3x+2sinxcos2x+4sinx-4=0

⇒ 2sinx(sin2x+cos2x)+4sinx=4⇒sinx=46=23

Clearly, from the graph, the given equation has exactly 3 solutions in [0,5π2]⇒x=5

So, we have equation, x2+5x+2=0

⇒x=-5+25-82⇒x=-5+172∈(-∞,0)
