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 D0

(sin2θ)2-4(sin4θ+cos4θ)(sin6θ+cos6θ)0

sin22θ4(sin4θ+cos4θ)(sin6θ+cos6θ)

Put sin22θ=t

t4(1-t2)(1-3t4)2t(2-t)(4-3t)

3t2-12t+80 t2-4t+830

(t-2)2+83-40 (t-2)243

-23t-223 2-23t2+23

 t[0,1] 2-23t1

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.
