Let   S = θ ∈ - 2 π , 2 π : 2 cos 2 θ + 3 sin θ = 0 . Then the sum of…

Let  S=θ-2π,2π:2cos2θ+3sinθ=0. Then the sum of the elements of S is:
  1. π
  2. 13π6
  3. 5π3
  4. 2π

Solution

The given equation 2cos2θ+3sinθ=0 can be written as

21-sin2θ+3sinθ=0

2sin2θ-3sinθ-2=0

2sinθ+1sinθ-2=0

sinθ=2, -12, sinθ2

sinθ=-12

Hence, solutions in -2π, 2π are
-π+π6, -π6, π+π6, 2π-π6

Sum of the elements is =2π.
