Q.

Let S={sin22θ:(sin4θ+cos4θ)x2+(sin2θ)x+(sin6θ+cos6θ)=0 has real roots}. If α and β be the smallest and largest elements of the set S, respectively, then 3((α-2)2+(β-1)2) equals _________ .              [2024]


Ans.

(4)

For real roots D≥0

⇒(sin2θ)2-4(sin4θ+cos4θ)(sin6θ+cos6θ)≥0

⇒sin22θ≥4(sin4θ+cos4θ)(sin6θ+cos6θ)

Put sin22θ=t

⇒t≥4(1-t2)(1-3t4)⇒2t≥(2-t)(4-3t)

⇒3t2-12t+8≤0 ⇒t2-4t+83≤0

⇒(t-2)2+83-4≤0 ⇒(t-2)2≤43

⇒-23≤t-2≤23 ⇒2-23≤t≤2+23

∵ t∈[0,1] ⇒2-23≤t≤1

Since, α and β be the smallest and largest elements of set S

∴ α=2-23,  β=1

Hence, 3[(α-2)2+(β-1)2]=3[(2-23-2)2+(1-1)2]=3[43+0]=4.
