Solution
Given, α=tan(165πsin(2cos−1(51))) We know, 2cos−1x=cos−1(2x2−1)∴2cos−1(51)=cos1(2×51−1)=cos−1(−53)∴α=tan(165πsin(cos−1(−53))=tan(165πsin(π−cos−1(53))=tan(165πsin(cos−1(53))=tan(165πsin(sin−1(54))=tan(165π×54)=tan(4π)=1∴α=1 Also given, β=cos(sin−1(54)+sec−1(35))=cos(cos−1(53)+cos−1(53))=cos(2cos−1(53))=cos(cos−1(2(53)2−1))=cos(cos−1(2518−1)=2518−1=2518−25=−257∴β=−257∴ The quadratic equation with roots α and β is x2−(α+β)x+αβ=0⇒x2−(1−257)x+1×(−257)=0⇒25x2−18x−7=0
