Question 11 Mark
The smallest value of x satisfying the equation $\sqrt{3}(\cot\text{x}+\tan\text{x})=4$ is:
  1. $\frac{2\pi}{3}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{12}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{\pi}{6}$

Solution:

Given:

$\sqrt{3}(\cot\text{x}+\tan\text{x})=4$

$\Rightarrow\sqrt{3}\Big(\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}+\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}\Big)=4$

$\Rightarrow\sqrt{3}(\cos^2\text{x}+\sin^2\text{x})=4\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\sqrt{3}=2\sin2\text{x}$ $\big[\sin2\text{x}=2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}\big]$

$\Rightarrow\sin2\text{x}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\sin2\text{x}=\sin\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^{\text{n}}\frac{\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{n}\pi}{2}+(-1)^{\text{n}}\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

To obtain the smallest value of x, we will put n = 0n = 0 in the above equation.

Thus, we have:

$\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Hence, the smallest value of x is $\frac{\pi}{6}.$

Question 31 Mark
The general value of x satisfying the equation $\sqrt{3}\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}=\sqrt{3}$ is given by:
  1. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  2. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  3. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{6},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  4. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
Answer
  1. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Solution:

Given:

$\sqrt{3}\sin​\text{x}+\cos\text{x}=\sqrt{3}\ .....(1)$

This equation is of the form $\text{a}\sin\theta+\text{b}\cos\theta=\text{c},$ where $\text{a}=\sqrt{3},\ \text{b}=1$ and $\text{c}=\sqrt{3}$

Let:

$\text{a}=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$

Now

$\text{r}=\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}=\sqrt{\Big(\sqrt{3}\Big)^2+1^1}=2$ and $\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{\pi}{6}$

On putting $\text{a}=\sqrt{3}=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=1=\text{r}\sin\alpha$ in equation (1),  we get:

$​\text{r}​\cos\alpha\sin​\text{x}​+​\text{r}​\sin\alpha\cos​\text{}x​=\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}\sin\big(\text{x}+\alpha\big)=\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{2}\sin\big(\text{x}+\alpha\big)=\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{}\sin\big(\text{x}+\alpha\big)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{}\sin\big(\text{x}+\alpha\big)=\sin\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{}\sin\big(\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{6}\big)=\sin\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow​​\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Question 41 Mark
If a is any real number, the number of roots of $\cot\text{x}-\tan\text{x}=\text{a}$ in the first quadrant is (are):
  1. 2
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. 1

Solution:

Given:

$\cot\text{x}-\tan\text{x}=\text{a}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\tan\text{x}}-\tan\text{x}=\text{a}$

$\Rightarrow1-\tan^2\text{x}=\text{a}\tan\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}+\text{a}\tan\text{x}-1=0$

It is a quadratic equation.

If $\tan\text{x}=\text{z},$ then the equation becomes

$\text{z}^2+\text{az}-1=0$

$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{-\text{a}\pm\sqrt{\text{a}^2+4}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{x}=\frac{-\text{a}\pm\sqrt{\text{a}^2+4}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{-\text{a}\pm\sqrt{\text{a}^2+4}}{2}\Big)$

There are two roots of the given equation, but we need to find the number of roots in the first quadrant.

There is exactly one root of the equation, that is, $\text{x}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{-\text{a}+\sqrt{\text{a}^2+4}}{2}\Big).$

Question 51 Mark
The equation $3\cos\text{x}+4\sin\text{x}=6$ has .... solution.
  1. Finite
  2. Infinite
  3. One
  4. No
Answer
  1. None of these

Solution:

Given equation:

$3\cos\text{x}+4\sin\text{x}=6\ .....(1)$

Thus, the equation is of the form $\text{a}\cos\text{x}+\text{b}\sin\text{x}=\text{c},$ where  and $\text{c}=6.$

Let:

$\text{a}=3=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=4=\text{r}\sin\alpha$

Now,

$\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{4}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\alpha=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)$

Also,

$\text{r}=\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$

On putting $\text{a}=3=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=4=\text{r}\sin\alpha$ in equation (i), we get:

$\Rightarrow\text{r}\cos(\theta-\alpha)=6$

$\Rightarrow\text{5}\cos(\theta-\alpha)=6$

$\Rightarrow\text{}\cos(\theta-\alpha)=\frac{6}{5}$

From here, we cannot find the value of $\theta.$

  2. $\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  3. $\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  4. $2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
Answer
  1. $\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Solution:

Given:

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}=1$

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$

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

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\sin\frac{\pi}{6}$ or $\sin\text{x}=\sin\Big(-\frac{\pi}{6}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$ or $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\Big(-\frac{\pi}{6}\Big),\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Question 71 Mark
If $\tan\text{px}-\tan\text{qx}=0,$ then the values of $\theta$ form a series in:
  1. AP
  2. GP
  3. HP
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. AP

Solution:

Given:

$\tan\text{px}-\tan\text{qx}=0$

$\Rightarrow\tan​​\text{px}=\tan\text{qx}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\sin\text{px}}{\cos\text{px}}=\frac{\sin\text{qx}}{\cos\text{qx}}$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{px}\cos\text{qx}=\sin\text{qx}\cos\text{px}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\Big[\sin\Big(\frac{\text{p+q}}{2}\Big)\text{x}+\sin\Big(\frac{\text{p}-\text{q}}{2}\Big)\text{x}\Big]\\=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\sin\Big(\frac{\text{q+p}}{2}\Big)\text{x}+\sin\Big(\frac{\text{q}-\text{p}}{2}\text{x}\Big)\Big]$

Now,

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{A}\cos\text{B}=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\Big(\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}\Big)+\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\sin\Big(\frac{\text{p}-\text{q}}{2}\Big)\text{x}=\sin\Big(\frac{\text{q}-\text{p}}{2}\Big)\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\sin\Big(\frac{\text{p}-\text{q}}{2}\Big)\text{x}=-\sin\Big(\frac{\text{q}-\text{p}}{2}\Big)\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow2\sin\Big(\frac{​\text{p}-\text{q}​}{2}\Big)​\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin\Big(\frac{\text{p}-\text{q}}{2}\Big)\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{p}-\text{q}}{2}\Big)\text{x}=\text{n}\pi,\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Now, on putting the value of n, we get:

$\text{n}=1,\text{x}=\frac{2\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\text{a}_1$

$\text{n}=2,\text{x}=\frac{4\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\text{a}_2$

$\text{n}=3,\text{x}=\frac{6\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\text{a}_3$

$\text{n}=4,\text{x}=\frac{4\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\text{a}_4$

And so on.

Also,

$\text{d}=\text{a}_2-\text{a}_1=\frac{4\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}-\frac{2\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\frac{2\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}$

$\text{d}=\text{a}_3-\text{a}_2=\frac{6\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}-\frac{4\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\frac{2\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}$

$\text{d}=\text{a}_4-\text{a}_3=\frac{8\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}-\frac{6\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}=\frac{2\pi}{(\text{p}-\text{q})}$

And so on.

Thus, xx forms a series in AP.

Question 81 Mark
If $\cos\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\sin\text{x}=2,\text{then}\ \text{x}=$
  1. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  2. $\frac{2\pi}{3}$
  3. $\frac{4\pi}{3}$
  4. $\frac{5\pi}{3}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{\pi}{3}$

Solution:

Given: $\cos\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\sin\text{x}=2\ ......(1)$

This equation is of the form $\text{a}\cos\text{x}+\text{b}\sin\text{x}=\text{c},$ where $\text{a}=1,\ \text{b}=\sqrt{3}$ and $\text{c}=2.$

Let:

$\text{a}=\text{r}\ \cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=\sin\alpha$

Now,

$1=\text{r}\ \cos\alpha,\sqrt{3}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}=\sqrt{1+3}=\sqrt{4}=2$

And,

$\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\alpha\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}$

On putting $\text{a}=1=\text{r}\ \cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=\sqrt{3}=r\ \sin\alpha$ in equation (1), we get:

$\Rightarrow\text{r}\cos(\text{x}-\alpha)=2$

$\Rightarrow2\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=2$

$\Rightarrow\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=1$

$\Rightarrow\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=\cos0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{3}=2\text{n}\pi\pm0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3}$

For $\text{n}=0,\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{3}.$

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

Question 91 Mark
If $\cot\text{x}-\tan\text{x}=\sec\text{x},$ then, x is equal to:
  1. $2\text{n}\pi+\frac{3\pi}{2},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  2. $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  3. $\text{n}\pi+\frac{\pi}{2},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Solution:

Given equation:

$\cot\text{x}-\tan\text{x}=\sec\text{x}$

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

$\Rightarrow\frac{\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2}{\sin\text{x}\cos​x​}=\frac{1}{\cos\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\cos^2​\text{x}​\sin^2=\sin\text{x}$

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

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

$\Rightarrow2\sin^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}-1=0$

$\Rightarrow2\sin^2\text{x}+2\sin\text{x}-\sin\text{x}-1=0$

$\Rightarrow2\sin\text{x}(\sin\text{x}+1)-1(\sin\text{x}+1)=0$

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

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

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

Now,

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

And

$\sin\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\sin\frac{\pi}{6}\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\therefore\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Question 101 Mark
The number of values of ​x in $[0,\ 2\pi]$ that satisfy the equation $\sin^2\text{x}-\cos\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$
  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
Answer
  1. 2

Solution:

$\sin^2\text{x}-\cos\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow(1-\cos^2\text{x})-\cos\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow4-4\cos^2\text{x}-4\cos\text{x}=1$

$\Rightarrow4\cos^2-4\cos\text{x}=1$

$\Rightarrow4\cos^2\text{x}+4\cos\text{x}-3=0$

$\Rightarrow4\cos^2\text{x}+6\cos\text{x}-2\cos\text{x}-3=0$

$\Rightarrow2\cos\text{x}(2\cos\text{x}+3)-1(2\cos\text{x}-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow(2\cos\text{x}+3)(2\cos\text{x}-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow2\cos\text{x}+3=0$ or $2\cos\text{x}-1=0$

$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=-\frac{3}{2}$  is not possible.

$\therefore\cos\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=\cos\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3}$

Now for n = 0 and 1, the values of x are $\frac{\pi}{3},\ \frac{5\pi}{3}$ and $\frac{7\pi}{3},$ but $\frac{7\pi}{3}$  is not in $[0,\ 2\pi]$

Hence, there are two solutions in $[0,\ 2\pi].$

Question 111 Mark
The number of values of x in the interval $[0,\ 5\pi]$ satisfying the equation $3\sin^2\text{x}-7\sin\text{x}+2=0$ is:
  1. 0
  2. 5
  3. 6
  4. 10
Answer
  1. 6

Solution:

Given:

$3\sin^2\text{x}-7\sin\text{x}+2=0$

$\Rightarrow3\sin^2\text{x}-6\sin\text{x}-\sin\text{x}+2=0$

$\Rightarrow3\sin\text{x}(\sin\text{x}-2)-1(\sin\text{x}-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(3\sin\text{x}-1)(\sin\text{x}-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow3\sin\text{x}-1=0$ or $\sin\text{x}-2=0$

 

Now, $\sin\text{x}=2$ is not possible, as the value of sin xsin x lies between -1 and 1.

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$

Also, sin x is positive only in first two quadrants. Therefore, sin x is positive twice in the interval $[0,\ \pi].$

Hence, it is positive six times in the interval $[0,\ 5\pi]$ viz $[0,\ \pi],$ $2\pi,\ 3\pi$ and $[4\pi,\ 5\pi].$

  2. $\text{x}=2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{2\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  3. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\frac{\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\frac{\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Solution:

Given:

$7\cos^2\text{x}+3\sin^2\text{x}=4$

$\Rightarrow7\cos^2\text{x}+3\Big(1-\cos^2\text{x}\Big)=4$

$\Rightarrow7\cos^2\text{x}+3-3\cos^2\text{x}=4$

$\Rightarrow4\cos^2\text{x}+3=4$

$\Rightarrow4\Big(1-\cos^2\text{x}\Big)=3$

$\Rightarrow4\sin^2\text{x}=3$

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\sin\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Question 131 Mark
In $(0,\ \pi)$ the number of solutions of the equation$\tan\text{x}+\tan2\text{x}+\tan3\text{x}=\tan\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\tan3\text{x}$ is:
  1. 7
  2. 5
  3. 4
  4. 2
Answer
  1. 2

Solution:

Given equation:

$\tan\text{x}+\tan2\text{x}=-\tan3\text{x}+\tan\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\tan3\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{x}+\tan2\text{x}=-\tan3\text{x}+\tan\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\tan3\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{x}+\tan2\text{x}=-\tan3\text{x}\Big(1-\tan\text{x}\tan2\text{x}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\tan\text{x}+\tan2\text{x}}{1-\tan\text{x}\tan2\text{x}}=-\tan3\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\tan(\text{x}+2\text{x})=-\tan3\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\tan3\text{x}=-\tan3\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow2\tan3\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\tan3\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow3\text{x}=\text{n}\pi$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{n}\pi}{3}$

Now,

$\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}=1$

$\text{x}=\frac{2\pi}{3},\ \text{n}=2$

$\text{x}=\frac{3\pi}{3}=180^\circ,$ which is not possible, as it is not in the interval $(0,\ 2\pi).$

Hence, the number of solutions of the given equation is 2.

Question 141 Mark
If $\text{e}^{\sin\text{x}}-\text{e}^{-\sin\text{x}}-4=0,$ then $\text{x}=$
  1. 0
  2. $\sin^{-1}\{\log_\text{e}(2-\sqrt{5})\}$
  3. 1
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. None of these

Solution:

Given equation: $\text{e}^{\sin\text{x}}-\text{e}^{-\sin\text{x}}-4=0,$

Let:

$\text{e}^{\sin\text{x}}=\text{y}$

Now,

$\text{y}-\text{y}^{-1}-4=0$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}^2-4\text{y}-1=0$

$\therefore\text{y}=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+4}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{20}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{4\pm2\sqrt{5}}{2}=2\pm\sqrt{5}$

And

$\text{y}=\text{e}^{\sin\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}^{\sin\text{x}}={2\pm\sqrt{5}}$

Taking log on both sides, we get:

$\sin\text{x}=\log_\text{e}\big(2\pm\sqrt{5}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\log_{e}\big(2+\sqrt{5}\big)$ or $\sin\text{x}=\log_\text{e}\big(2-\sqrt{5}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\log_{e}\big(4.24\big)$ or $\sin\text{x}=\log_\text{e}\big(-0.24\big)$

$\log(4.24)>1$ and $\sin\text{x}$ cannot be greater than 1.

In the other case, the log of negative term occurs, which is not defined.

Question 151 Mark
A solution of the equation $\cos^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}+1=0,$ lies in the interval:
  1. $\Big(\frac{-\pi}{4},\ \frac{\pi}{4}\Big)$
  2. $\Big(\frac{\pi}{4},\ \frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)$
  3. $\Big(\frac{3\pi}{4},\ \frac{5\pi}{4}\Big)$
  4. $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big)$
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 $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big).$

The smallest positive angle which satisfies the equation ​$2\sin^2\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}+1=0$ is:
  1. $\frac{5\pi}{6}$
  2. $\frac{2\pi}{3}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Solution:

Given:

$2\sin^2\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow2(1-\cos^2\text{x})+\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow2-2\cos^2\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow2\cos^2\text{x}-\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}-3=0$

$\Rightarrow2\cos^2\text{x}-2\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}-3=0$

$\Rightarrow2\cos\text{x}\Big(\cos\text{x}-\sqrt{3}\Big)+\sqrt{3}\Big(\cos\text{x}-\sqrt{3}\Big)=0$

$\Rightarrow\Big(2\cos\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\Big)\Big(\cos\text{x}-\sqrt{3}\Big)=0$

$\therefore\cos\text{x}+\sqrt{3}=0$ or, $\cos\text{x}=\sqrt{3}$ is not possible.

$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=\cos\Big(\frac{\pi}{6}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{5\pi}{6},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

For n = 0, the value of x is $\pm\frac{5\pi}{6}.$

Hence, the smallest positive angle is $\frac{5\pi}{6}.$

Question 171 Mark
The solution of the equation $\cos^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}+1=0$ lies in the interval:
  1. $\Big(\frac{-\pi}{4},\ \frac{\pi}{4}\Big)$
  2. $\Big(\frac{\pi}{4},\ \frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)$
  3. $\Big(\frac{3\pi}{4},\ \frac{5\pi}{4}\Big)$
  4. $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big)$
Answer
  1.  $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big)$

Solution:

Given equation:

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

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

$\Rightarrow2-\sin^2\text{x}+\sin\text{x}=0$

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now, $\sin\text{x}=2$ is not possible.

And,

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

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

For $\text{n}=0,\ \text{x}=\frac{3\pi}{2},$ for $\text{n}=1,\ \text{x}=\frac{7\pi}{2}$ and so on.

Hence,  $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ lies in the interval $\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4},\ \frac{7\pi}{4}\Big).$

Given equation:

$\cos\text{x}=-\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=\cos\frac{2\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{2\pi}{3}$

or

$\cos\text{x}=\cos\frac{4\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{4\pi}{3}$

so, both $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ and $\frac{4\pi}{3}$ line in $0<\text{}\text{x}<2\pi.$

Question 191 Mark
A value of x satisfying $\cos\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\sin\text{x}=2$ is:
  1. $\frac{5\pi}{3}$
  2. $\frac{4\pi}{3}$
  3. $\frac{2\pi}{3}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
Answer
  1.  $\frac{\pi}{3}$

Solution:

Given equation:

$\cot\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\sin​​​​\text{x}=2\ .....(1)$

Thus, the equation is of the form $\text{a}\cos\text{x}+\text{b}\sin\text{x}=\text{c},$ where $\text{a}=1,\ \text{b}=\sqrt{3}$ and $\text{c}=3$

Let:

$\text{a}=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$

$1=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\sqrt{3}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}=\sqrt{\Big(\sqrt{3}\Big)^2+1^2}=2$ and

$\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\Rightarrow\tan\alpha\tan\frac{\pi}{3}\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}$

On putting $\text{a}=1=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ and $\text{b}=\sqrt{3}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$  in equation (1) we get:

$\text{r}\cos\alpha\cos\text{x}+\text{r}\sin\alpha\sin\text{x}=2$

$\Rightarrow​​\text{r}\cos(\text{x}-\alpha)=2$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=2$

$\Rightarrow\text{2}\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=2$

$\Rightarrow\text{}\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=1$

$\Rightarrow\text{}\cos(\text{x}-\frac{\pi}{3})=\cos0$

$\Rightarrow​\text{x}​-\frac{\pi}{3}=0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Question 201 Mark
If $\sqrt{3}\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}=\sqrt{2},$ then general value of $\theta$ is:
  1. $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^{\text{n}}\frac{\pi}{4},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  2. $(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  3. $\text{n}\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
  4. $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
Answer
  1. $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{3},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Solution:

Given equation:

$\sqrt{3}\cos​​​\text{x}​+\sin\text{x}\sqrt{2}\ .....(1)$

Thus, is of the  form $\text{a}\cos\text{x}+\text{b}\sin\text{x}=\text{c},$ where $\text{a}=\sqrt{3},\ \text{b}=1$ and $\text{c}=\sqrt2$

Let:

$\text{a}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$ and $\text{b}=\text{r}\cos\alpha$

Now,

$\text{r}=\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}=\sqrt{\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2+1^2}=2$ 

And

$\tan\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}$

$\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\tan\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Putting $\text{a}=\sqrt{3}=\text{r}\sin\alpha$ and  $\text{b}=1=\text{r}\cos\alpha$ in equation (i), we get: 

$\text{r}\cos\text{x}\sin\alpha+\text{r}\sin\text{x}\cos\alpha=\sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}\sin(\text{x}+\alpha)=\sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow2\sin(\text{x}+\alpha)=\sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow\sin\big(\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{3}\big)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\Rightarrow\sin\big(\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{3}\big)=\cos\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\frac{\pi}{3}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{4},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}​​\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{3},\ \ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

Question 211 Mark
The number of solution in $\big[0,\ \frac{\pi}{2}\big]$ of the equation $3\text{x}\tan5\text{x}=\sin7\text{x}$ is:
  1. 5
  2. 7
  3. 6
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. 6

Solution:

Given:

$\Rightarrow\cos(5\text{x}-2\text{x})\tan5\text{x}=\sin(5\text{x}+2\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\tan5\text{x}=\frac{\sin(5\text{x}+2\text{x})}{\cos(5\text{x}-2\text{x})}$

$\Rightarrow\tan5\text{x}=\frac{\sin5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+\cos5\text{x}\sin2\text{x}}{\cos5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+\sin5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\sin5\text{x}}{\cos5\text{x}}=\frac{\sin5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+\cos5\text{x}\sin2\text{x}}{\cos5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+\sin5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\sin5​\text{x}\cos5\text{x}+\sin^25\text{x}\sin2\text{x}\\=\sin5\text{x}\cos5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+\cos^25\text{x}\sin2\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\sin^25\text{x}\sin2\text{x}=\cos^25\text{x}\sin2\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\Big(\sin^25\text{x}\cos^25\text{x}\Big)\sin2\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\Big(\sin5\text{x}-\cos5\text{x}\Big)\Big(\sin5\text{x}+\cos5\text{x}\Big)\sin2\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\sin5\text{x}-\cos5\text{x}=0,\ \sin5\text{x}+\cos5\text{x}=0$ or $\sin2\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\sin5\text{x}}{\cos5\text{x}}=1,\ \frac{\sin5\text{x}}{\cos5\text{x}}=-1$ or $\sin2\text{x}=0$

Now,

$\Rightarrow\tan5\text{x}=\tan\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow5\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+\frac{\pi}{4},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{n}\pi}{5}+\frac{\pi}{20},\text{n}\in\text{Z}$

F or n = 0, 1 and 2, the values of x are $\frac{\pi}{20},\ \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{9\pi}{20},$ respectively. 

Or,

$\tan5\text{x}=1$

$\Rightarrow\tan5\text{x}=\tan\frac{3\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow5\pi=\text{n}\pi+\frac{3\pi}{4},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\Rightarrow​x\text{x}=\frac{\text{n}\pi}{5}+\frac{3\pi}{20},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

For n = 0 and 1, the values of x are $\frac{3\pi}{20}$ and $\frac{7\pi}{20},$ respectively.

And,

$\sin2\text{x}=\sin0$

$\Rightarrow\sin2\text{x}=\sin0$

$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=\text{n}\pi,\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{n}\pi}{2},\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$

For n = 0, the value of x is 0.

Also, for the odd multiple of $\frac{\pi}{2,}$ tanx is not defined.

Hence, there are six solutions.
