If 2tan2θ-5secθ=1 has exactly 7 solutions in the interval 0,nπ2, for the least value of nN then k=1nk2k is equal to :
  1. 1215214-14
  2. 1214215-15
  3. 1-15213
  4. 1213214-15

Solution

Given,

2tan2θ-5secθ-1=0

2sec2θ-1-5secθ-1=0

2sec2θ-5secθ-3=0

2sec2θ-6secθ+secθ-3=0

2secθsecθ-3+1secθ-3=0

(2secθ+1)(secθ-3)=0

secθ=-12,3

cosθ=-2, 13

We know that, -1cosθ≤1

cosθ=13

For 7 solutions n=13

So, k=113k2k=S (say)

S=12+222+323+.+13213

12 S=122+123+..+12213+13214

S-S2=12+222+323+.+13213-122+123+..+12213+13214

S2=12+122+323+...+13213-13214

S2=12·1-12131-12-13214

S2=12·213-121312-13214

S=2·213-1213-13213

S=214-2-13213

S=214-15213
