If θ∈[–7π6,4π3], then the number of solutions of 3cosec2θ–2(3–1)cosecθ–4=0, is equal to : [2025]
(4)
We have, 3cosec2θ–2(3–1)cosecθ–4=0
Let cosecθ=x
∴ 3x2–2(3–1)x–4=0
x=2(3–1)±4(3–1)2+16323
=2(3–1)±16–83+16323
=2(3–1)±(23+2)223
=2(3–1)±2(3+1)23
=(3–1)±(3+1)3
∴ x1=(3–1)+(3+1)3=2
and x2=(3–1)–(3+1)3=–23
Now, Put x = cosecθ
When cosecθ=2 ⇒ sinθ=12 ⇒ θ=π6,5π6,–7π6
When cosecθ=–23 ⇒ sinθ=–32
⇒ θ=4π3,5π3,–π3,–2π3
Now, 5π3∉[–7π6,4π3]
∴ Required number of solutions are = 6.
