If 5 tan 2 ⁡ x - cos 2 ⁡ x = 2 cos ⁡   2 x + 9 , then the value of cos ⁡ 4 x is

If 5tan2x-cos2x=2cos 2x+9, then the value of cos4x is
  1. -35
  2. 13
  3. 29
  4. -79

Solution

51-cos2x1+cos2x-1+cos2x2=2cos2x+9

Let, cos2x=y

5(1y1+y1+y2)=2y+9

 5-y2-4y+1=4y2+22y+18

 9y2+42y+13=0

 y=-13 or y=-133 (Not possible)

Now, cos4x=2cos22x-1

 cos4x=2-132-1

 cos4x=-79
