Question

The number of integral values of 'k' for which the equation 3sinx+4cosx=k+13\sin x + 4\cos x = k + 1 has a solution, k\inR is ___________.

Answer: 2

Solution

We know, a2+b2acosx+bsinxa2+b2- \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} \le a\cos x + b\sin x \le \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} \therefore 32+423cosx+4sinx32+42- \sqrt {{3^2} + {4^2}} \le 3\cos x + 4\sin x \le \sqrt {{3^2} + {4^2}} 5k+15 - 5 \le k + 1 \le 5 6k4 - 6 \le k \le 4 \therefore Set of integers = 6,5,4,3,2,1,0,1,2,3,4 - 6, - 5, - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1,0,1,2,3,4 = Total 11 intergers.
