The number of solutions of the equation 4 sin 2 x − 4 cos 3 x + 9 − 4 cos x = 0 ; x ∈ − 2 π , 2 π is:

The number of solutions of the equation 4sin2x4cos3x+94cosx=0;x2π,2π is:
  1. 1
  2. 3
  3. 2
  4. 0

Solution

Given: 4sin2x-4cos3x+9-4cosx=0

4-4cos2x-4cos3x+9-4cosx=0

4cos3x+4cos2x+4cosx-13=0

4cos3x+4cos2x+4cosx=13

We know that, -1cosx1

So, the maximum value of LHS is 4+4+4=12

But, RHS is 13.

So, no solutions are possible for the given equation.
