MCQ
A solution of the equation $\cos^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}+1=0,$ lies in the interval:
  • A
    $\Big(\frac{-\pi}{4},\ \frac{\pi}{4}\Big)$
  • B
    $\Big(\frac{\pi}{4},\ \frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)$
  • C
    $\Big(\frac{3\pi}{4},\ \frac{5\pi}{4}\Big)$
  • D
    $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big)$

Answer

  1. $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big)$

Solution:

Given:

$\cos^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow(1-\sin^2\text{x})+\sin\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow1-\sin^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}-\sin\text{x}-2=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}-2\sin\text{x}+\sin\text{x}-2=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}(\sin\text{x}-2)+1(\sin\text{x}-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(\sin\text{x}-2)(\sin\text{x}+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}-2=0$ or $\sin\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=2$ or $\sin\text{x}=-1$

$\sin\text{x}=2$ is not possible.

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=-1$

$\therefore\sin\text{x}=\sin\frac{3\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{3\pi}{2},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

The values of x lies in the third and fourth quadrants.

Hence, x lies in $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big).$
