Question

The number of solutions of sin3x = cos 2x, in the interval (π2,π)\left( {{\pi \over 2},\pi } \right) is :

Options

Solution

sin 3x = cos 2x \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\, 3 sin x - 4 sin 3 x = 1 - 2 sin 2 x \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\, 4 sin 3 x - 2 sin 2 x - 3 sin x + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\, sin x = 1, 2±258{{ - 2 \pm 2\sqrt 5 } \over 8} In the interval (π2,π)\left( {{\pi \over 2},\pi } \right), sin x = 2+258{{ - 2 + 2\sqrt 5 } \over 8} So, there is only one solution.
