MCQ
The equation $3{\sin ^2}x + 10\cos x - 6 = 0$ is satisfied, if
  • A
    $x = n\pi \pm {\cos ^{ - 1}}(1/3)$
  • $x = 2n\pi \pm {\cos ^{ - 1}}(1/3)$
  • C
    $x = n\pi \pm {\cos ^{ - 1}}(1/6)$
  • D
    $x = 2n\pi \pm {\cos ^{ - 1}}(1/6)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$x = 2n\pi \pm {\cos ^{ - 1}}(1/3)$
b
(b) $3{\sin ^2}x + 10\cos x - 6 = 0$

$3(1 - {\cos ^2}x) + 10\cos x - 6 = 0$

On solving, $(\cos x - 3)\,(3\cos x - 1) = 0$

Either $\cos x = 3$, (which is not possible) or 

$\cos x =\frac{1}{3}$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,x = 2n\pi \pm {\cos ^{ - 1}}(1/3)$.
