Correct answer: B

  1. Given quadratic

The equation is x2sin⁡θ−x(sin⁡θcos⁡θ+1)+cos⁡θ=0,x^2\sin\theta - x(\sin\theta\cos\theta+1)+\cos\theta=0,x2sinθ−x(sinθcosθ+1)+cosθ=0, with roots α,β\alpha,\betaα,β and 0<θ<45∘0<\theta<45^\circ0<θ<45∘.

So, by Vieta: α+β=sin⁡θcos⁡θ+1sin⁡θ,\alpha+\beta=\frac{\sin\theta\cos\theta+1}{\sin\theta},α+β=sinθsinθcosθ+1​, αβ=cos⁡θsin⁡θ=cot⁡θ.\alpha\beta=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\cot\theta.αβ=sinθcosθ​=cotθ.

We need to find S=∑n=0∞(αn+(−1)nβn).S=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\left(\alpha^n+\frac{(-1)^n}{\beta^n}\right).S=∑n=0∞​(αn+βn(−1)n​).


  1. Identify the roots explicitly

Let us check whether simple values satisfy the quadratic.

Substitute x=cos⁡θx=\cos\thetax=cosθ: sin⁡θcos⁡2θ−cos⁡θ(sin⁡θcos⁡θ+1)+cos⁡θ\sin\theta\cos^2\theta-\cos\theta(\sin\theta\cos\theta+1)+\cos\thetasinθcos2θ−cosθ(sinθcosθ+1)+cosθ =sin⁡θcos⁡2θ−sin⁡θcos⁡2θ−cos⁡θ+cos⁡θ=0.=\sin\theta\cos^2\theta-\sin\theta\cos^2\theta-\cos\theta+\cos\theta=0.=sinθcos2θ−sinθcos2θ−cosθ+cosθ=0. So, x=cos⁡θx=\cos\thetax=cosθ is a root.

Substitute x=csc⁡θx=\csc\thetax=cscθ: sin⁡θ csc⁡2θ−csc⁡θ(sin⁡θcos⁡θ+1)+cos⁡θ\sin\theta\,\csc^2\theta-\csc\theta(\sin\theta\cos\theta+1)+\cos\thetasinθcsc2θ−cscθ(sinθcosθ+1)+cosθ =csc⁡θ−cos⁡θ−csc⁡θ+cos⁡θ=0.=\csc\theta-\cos\theta-\csc\theta+\cos\theta=0.=cscθ−cosθ−cscθ+cosθ=0. So, x=csc⁡θx=\csc\thetax=cscθ is the other root.

Hence the roots are α=cos⁡θ,β=csc⁡θ,\alpha=\cos\theta,\qquad \beta=\csc\theta,α=cosθ,β=cscθ, because for 0<θ<45∘0<\theta<45^\circ0<θ<45∘, 0<cos⁡θ<1,csc⁡θ>1,0<\cos\theta<1,\qquad \csc\theta>1,0<cosθ<1,cscθ>1, thus indeed α<β\alpha<\betaα<β.


  1. Rewrite the series

Now, S=∑n=0∞((cos⁡θ)n+(−1)n(csc⁡θ)n).S=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\left((\cos\theta)^n+\frac{(-1)^n}{(\csc\theta)^n}\right).S=∑n=0∞​((cosθ)n+(cscθ)n(−1)n​). Since 1csc⁡θ=sin⁡θ\dfrac{1}{\csc\theta}=\sin\thetacscθ1​=sinθ, S=∑n=0∞(cos⁡θ)n+∑n=0∞(−sin⁡θ)n.S=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(\cos\theta)^n+\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-\sin\theta)^n.S=∑n=0∞​(cosθ)n+∑n=0∞​(−sinθ)n.

Because 0<θ<45∘0<\theta<45^\circ0<θ<45∘, we have ∣cos⁡θ∣<1,∣sin⁡θ∣<1,|\cos\theta|<1, \qquad |\sin\theta|<1,∣cosθ∣<1,∣sinθ∣<1, so both are convergent geometric series.


  1. Sum the geometric series

First, ∑n=0∞(cos⁡θ)n=11−cos⁡θ.\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(\cos\theta)^n=\frac{1}{1-\cos\theta}.∑n=0∞​(cosθ)n=1−cosθ1​.

Second, ∑n=0∞(−sin⁡θ)n=11+sin⁡θ.\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-\sin\theta)^n=\frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}.∑n=0∞​(−sinθ)n=1+sinθ1​.

Therefore, S=11−cos⁡θ+11+sin⁡θ.S=\frac{1}{1-\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}.S=1−cosθ1​+1+sinθ1​.


  1. Match with the options

This is exactly Option B: 11−cos⁡θ+11+sin⁡θ.\boxed{\frac{1}{1-\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}}.1−cosθ1​+1+sinθ1​​.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: B

Our derived answer: B

So they agree.
