The sum of solutions of the equation cos x 1 + sin x = tan 2 x ,   x ∈ - π 2 , π 2 - -…

The sum of solutions of the equation cosx1+sinx=tan2x, x-π2,π2--π4,π4 is:
  1. π10
  2. -7π30
  3. -π15
  4. -11π30

Solution

We have,

cosx1+sinx=tan2x

where, x-π2,π2-π4,-π4

Case-1: When 0x<π4 & -π2<x<-π4.

cosx1+sinx=tan2x

cosx1+sinx=sin2xcos2x

cosx1+sinx=2sinxcosxcos2x-sin2x

cosxcos2x-sin2x=2sinxcosx1+sinx

cosx1-2sin2x=cosx2sinx+2sin2x

cosx-4sin2x-2sinx+1=0

cosx4sin2x+2sinx-1=0

Then,

cosx=0 (Not possible, since 0x<π4 & -π2<x<-π4)

And,

sinx=-2±258=-1±54

x=π10,-3π10

Case-2: When π4<x<π2 and -π4<x<0, then

cosx1+sinx=-tan2x

cosx1+sinx=-sin2xcos2x

cosx1+sinx=-2sinxcosxcos2x-sin2x

cosxcos2x-sin2x=-2sinxcosx1+sinx

cosx1-2sin2x=cosx-2sinx-2sin2x

cosx(1+2sinx)=0

cosx=0xϕ

And, sinx=-12x=-π6

Sum of solutions

=π10-3π10-π6=-11π30
