MCQ
Suppose $\theta \in\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]$ is a solution of $4 \cos \theta-3 \sin \theta=1$ Then $\cos \theta$ is equal to :
  • $\frac{4}{(3 \sqrt{6}-2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{6-\sqrt{6}}{(3 \sqrt{6}-2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{6+\sqrt{6}}{(3 \sqrt{6}+2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{(3 \sqrt{6}+2)}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{4}{(3 \sqrt{6}-2)}$
a
$4\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2 \theta / 2}{1+\tan ^2 \theta / 2}\right)-3\left(\frac{2 \tan \frac{\theta}{2}}{1+\tan ^2 \frac{\theta}{2}}\right)=1$

let $\tan \frac{\theta}{2}=\mathrm{t}$

$ \frac{4-4 t^2-6 t}{1+t^2}=1 $

$ 4-4 t^2-6 t=1+t^2$

$ \Rightarrow 5 t^2+6 t-3=0 $

$ \Rightarrow t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-4(5)(-3)}}{2(5)} $

$ =\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{96}}{10} $

$ =\frac{-6 \pm 4 \sqrt{6}}{10} $

$ t=\frac{-3+2 \sqrt{6}}{5} $

$ \cos \theta=\frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}=\frac{1-\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{6}-3}{5}\right)^2}{1+\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{6}-3}{5}\right)^2}=\frac{1-\left(\frac{24+9-12 \sqrt{6}}{25}\right)}{1+\left(\frac{24+9-12 \sqrt{6}}{25}\right)} $

$ =\frac{25-33+12 \sqrt{6}}{25+33-12 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{12 \sqrt{6}-8}{58-12 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{6 \sqrt{6}-4}{29-6 \sqrt{6}} \times \frac{29+6 \sqrt{6}}{29+6 \sqrt{6}} $

$ =\frac{100+150 \sqrt{6}}{625}=\frac{4+6 \sqrt{6}}{25} \times \frac{4-6 \sqrt{6}}{4-6 \sqrt{6}} $

$ =\frac{-200}{25(4-6 \sqrt{6})}=\frac{-8}{4-6 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{4}{3 \sqrt{6}-2}$
