Question

The sum of the solutions xRx \in \mathbb{R} of the equation 3cos2x+cos32xcos6xsin6x=x3x2+6\frac{3 \cos 2 x+\cos ^3 2 x}{\cos ^6 x-\sin ^6 x}=x^3-x^2+6 is

Options

Solution

3cos2x+cos32xcos6xsin6x=x3x2+6cos2x(3+cos22x)cos2x(1sin2xcos2x)=x3x2+64(3+cos22x)(4sin22x)=x3x2+64(3+cos22x)(3+cos22x)=x3x2+6x3x2+2=0(x+1)(x22x+2)=0\begin{aligned} & \frac{3 \cos 2 x+\cos ^3 2 x}{\cos ^6 x-\sin ^6 x}=x^3-x^2+6 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\cos 2 x\left(3+\cos ^2 2 x\right)}{\cos 2 x\left(1-\sin ^2 x \cos ^2 x\right)}=x^3-x^2+6 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{4\left(3+\cos ^2 2 x\right)}{\left(4-\sin ^2 2 x\right)}=x^3-x^2+6 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{4\left(3+\cos ^2 2 x\right)}{\left(3+\cos ^2 2 x\right)}=x^3-x^2+6 \\ & x^3-x^2+2=0 \Rightarrow(x+1)\left(x^2-2 x+2\right)=0 \end{aligned} so, sum of real solutions =1=-1
