Let x=mn (m,n are co-prime natural numbers) be a solution of the equation cos(2sin-1x)=19 and let α,β(α>β) be the roots of the equation mx2-nx-m+n=0. Then the point (α,β) lies on the line [2024]
(4)
We have, cos(2sin-1x)=19
Put sin-1x=θ
cos2θ=19⇒1-2sin2θ=19
⇒sinθ=23 (∵x>0 and sinθ lies in the first quadrant)
⇒x=23=mn. So, m=2 and n=3
The given equation becomes, 2x2-3x-2+3=0
⇒2x2-3x+1=0⇒2x2-2x-x+1=0
⇒(2x-1)(x-1)=0 ⇒x=12 or x=1
⇒α=1 and β=12,which lies on the line 5x+8y=9
