The sum of the solutions x ∈ R of the equation 3 cos 2 x + cos 3 2 x cos 6 x - sin 6 x = x 3 - x 2 + 6 is

The sum of the solutions xR of the equation 3cos2x+cos32xcos6x-sin6x=x3-x2+6 is
  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. -1
  4. 3

Solution

Given: 3cos2x+cos32xcos6x-sin6x=x3-x2+6

cos2x3+cos22xcos2x3-sin2x3=x3-x2+6

cos2x3+cos22xcos2x-sin2xcos4x+sin4x+sin2xcos2x=x3-x2+6

3+cos22xsin2x+cos2x2-2sin2xcos2x+sin2xcos2x=x3-x2+6

3+cos22x1-sin2xcos2x=x3-x2+6

3+cos22x1-2sinxcosx24=x3-x2+6

43+cos22x4-sin22x=x3-x2+6

43+1-sin22x4-sin22x=x3-x2+6

4=x3-x2+6

x3-x2+2=0

x+1x2-2x+2=0

x+1x-12+1=0

So, the sum of real roots is -1.
