The sum of all values of x in [ 0 , 2 π ] , for which sin x + sin 2 x + sin 3 x + sin 4 x = 0 , is…

The sum of all values of x in [0,2π], for which sinx+sin2x+sin3x+sin4x=0, is equal to :
  1. 8π
  2. 11π
  3. 12π
  4. 9π

Solution

Given,

sinx+sin2x+sin3x+sin4x=0

(sinx+sin4x)+(sin2x+sin3x)=0

2sin5x2cos3x2+2sin5x2cosx2=0

2sin5x2cos3x2+cosx2=0

2sin5x22cosxcosx2=0

2sin5x2=05x2=0,π,2π,3π,4π,5π

x=0,2π5,4π5,6π5,8π5,2π

and cosx2=0x2=π2x=π

and cosx=0x=π2,3π2

So sum =6π+π+2π=9π
