Let and be the roots of the quadratic equation x2 sin – x(sin cos + 1) + cos = 0 (0 << 45o), and <. Then is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given quadratic
The equation is with roots and .
So, by Vieta:
We need to find
- Identify the roots explicitly
Let us check whether simple values satisfy the quadratic.
Substitute : So, is a root.
Substitute : So, is the other root.
Hence the roots are because for , thus indeed .
- Rewrite the series
Now, Since ,
Because , we have so both are convergent geometric series.
- Sum the geometric series
First,
Second,
Therefore,
- Match with the options
This is exactly Option B:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Our derived answer: B
So they agree.
