The number of values of θ in the interval (-π2,π2) such that θ≠nπ5 for n=0,±1,±2 and tanθ=cot5θ as well as sin2θ=cos4θ is [2010]
(3)
tanθ=cot5θ, θ≠nπ5
⇒cosθcos5θ-sin5θsinθ=0⇒cos6θ=0
⇒6θ=-5π2, -3π2, -π2, π2, 3π2, 5π2
⇒θ=-5π12, -π4, -π12, π12, π4, 5π12
Again sin2θ=cos4θ=1-2sin22θ
⇒2sin22θ+sin2θ-1=0⇒sin2θ=-1, 12
⇒2θ=-π2, π6, 5π6⇒θ=-π4, π12, 5π12
So, common solutions are θ=-π4, π12, 5π12
∴ Number of solutions =3
