JEE Main 2018Trigonometric EquationsTrigonometric EquationsEasyQuestionThe number of solutions of the equation ∣cotx∣=cotx+1sinx|\cot x| = \cot x + {1 \over {\sin x}}∣cotx∣=cotx+sinx1 in the interval [ 0, 2π\piπ ] isAnswer: 0Hide SolutionSolutionCase I : When cot x > 0, x∈[0,π2]∪[π,3π2]x \in \left[ {0,{\pi \over 2}} \right] \cup \left[ {\pi ,{{3\pi } \over 2}} \right]x∈[0,2π]∪[π,23π] cotx=cotx+1sinx⇒\cot x = \cot x + {1 \over {\sin x}} \Rightarrow cotx=cotx+sinx1⇒ not possible Case II : When cot x < 0, x∈[π2,π]∪[3π2,2π]x \in \left[ {{\pi \over 2},\pi } \right] \cup \left[ {{{3\pi } \over 2},2\pi } \right]x∈[2π,π]∪[23π,2π] −cotx=cotx+1sinx - \cot x = \cot x + {1 \over {\sin x}}−cotx=cotx+sinx1 ⇒−2cosxsinx=1sinx \Rightarrow {{ - 2\cos x} \over {\sin x}} = {1 \over {\sin x}}⇒sinx−2cosx=sinx1 ⇒cosx=−12 \Rightarrow \cos x = {{ - 1} \over 2}⇒cosx=2−1 ⇒x=2π3,4π3 \Rightarrow x = {{2\pi } \over 3},{{4\pi } \over 3}⇒x=32π,34π(Rejected) One solution.
