Question

Let x=mnx=\frac{m}{n} (m,nm, n are co-prime natural numbers) be a solution of the equation cos(2sin1x)=19\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right)=\frac{1}{9} and let α,β(α>β)\alpha, \beta(\alpha >\beta) be the roots of the equation mx2nxm+n=0m x^2-n x-m+ n=0. Then the point (α,β)(\alpha, \beta) lies on the line

Options

Solution

Assume sin1x=θ\sin ^{-1} x=\theta cos(2θ)=19sinθ=±23\begin{aligned} & \cos (2 \theta)=\frac{1}{9} \\ & \sin \theta= \pm \frac{2}{3} \end{aligned} as m\mathrm{m} and n\mathrm{n} are co-prime natural numbers, x=23\mathrm{x}=\frac{2}{3} i.e. m=2,n=3m=2, n=3 So, the quadratic equation becomes 2x23x+1=02 x^2-3 x+1=0 whose roots are α=1,β=12\alpha=1, \beta=\frac{1}{2} (1,12)\left(1, \frac{1}{2}\right) lies on 5x+8y=95 x+8 y=9
