The number of values of x in the interval π 4 , 7 π 4 for which 14 cosec 2 x - 2 sin 2 x = 21 - 4…

The number of values of x in the interval π4,7π4 for which 14cosec2x-2sin2x=21-4cos2x holds, is ______.

Solution

Given xπ4,7π4

14cosec2x-2sin2x=21-4cos2x

=21-41-sin2x

=17+4sin2x

14sin2x-6sin2x=17

Let sin2x=p

14p-6p=1714-6p2=17p

6p2+17p-14=0

p=-72,23sin2x=23

sinx=±23
