Let the set of all a ∈ R such that the equation cos 2 x + a sin x = 2 a - 7 has a solution be [ p , q ] and…

Let the set of all aR such that the equation cos2x+asinx=2a-7 has a solution be [p, q] and r=tan9°-tan27°-1cot63°+tan81°, then pqr is equal to ________.

Solution

Given: cos2x+a·sinx=2a-7

1-2sin2x+a×sinx=2a-7

a×sinx-2a=-8+2sin2x

asinx-2=2sin2x-4

a(sinx-2)=2(sinx-2)(sinx+2)

sinx=2 Not possible, a=2(sinx+2)

We know that, -1sinx1

a[2,6]

p=2, q=6

Now, r=tan9°+cot9°-tan27°-cot27°

r=cos29°+sin29°sin9°·cos9°-cos227°+sin227°sin27°·cos27°

r=1sin9°·cos9°-1sin27°·cos27°

r=22×sin9°·cos9°-22×sin27°·cos27°

r=2sin18°-2sin54°

r=245-1-45+1

r=85+1-5+15-1

r=824

r=4

p·q·r=2×6×4

p·q·r=48
