Question

Let S = {θ\theta \in [–2π\pi , 2π\pi ] : 2cos 2 θ\theta + 3sinθ\theta = 0}. Then the sum of the elements of S is

Solution

2cos 2 θ\theta + 3sinθ\theta = 0 \Rightarrow 2(1 - sin 2 θ\theta ) + 3sinθ\theta = 0 \Rightarrow 2sin 2 θ\theta - 3sinθ\theta - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow 2sin 2 θ\theta - 4sinθ\theta + sinθ\theta - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow (2sinθ\theta + 1)(sinθ\theta - 2) = 0 \therefore sinθ\theta = 2 (Not possible) sinθ\theta = 12 - {1 \over 2} \therefore θ\theta = nπ\pi + (-1) n (π6)\left( { - {\pi \over 6}} \right) When n = 0, θ\theta = π6{ - {\pi \over 6}} When n = 1, θ\theta = 7π6{{7\pi } \over 6} When n = -1, θ\theta = 5π6{-{5\pi } \over 6} When n = 2, θ\theta = 11π6{{11\pi } \over 6} \therefore Sum of all solutions in [–2π\pi , 2π\pi ] is = π6+7π65π6+11π6 - {\pi \over 6} + {{7\pi } \over 6} - {{5\pi } \over 6} + {{11\pi } \over 6} = 2π\pi
