Correct answer: 4
Let
A=rac{}{ }\sin^4\theta+\cos^4\theta,\qquad B=\sin 2\theta,\qquad C=\sin^6\theta+\cos^6\theta.
We are given the quadratic
Ax2+Bx+C=0
and want the set
S={sin22θ:the quadratic has real roots}.
We must find the smallest and largest possible values of
t=sin22θ
for which the quadratic has real roots.
1. Rewrite everything in terms of t=sin22θ
Use standard identities:
sin4θ+cos4θ=(sin2θ+cos2θ)2−2sin2θcos2θ=1−2sin2θcos2θ.
Since
sin22θ=4sin2θcos2θ=t,
we get
sin2θcos2θ=4t,
so
A=1−2⋅4t=1−2t.
Now,
sin6θ+cos6θ=(sin2θ)3+(cos2θ)3.
Using
a3+b3=(a+b)3−3ab(a+b),
with a=sin2θ, b=cos2θ, and a+b=1, we get
C=1−3sin2θcos2θ=1−3⋅4t=1−43t.
Also,
B=sin2θ,
so
B2=t.
Thus the quadratic has coefficients
A=1−2t,B=sin2θ,C=1−43t,
where 0≤t≤1.
2. Condition for real roots
A quadratic has real roots when its discriminant is nonnegative:
B2−4AC≥0.
Substitute:
t−4(1−2t)(1−43t)≥0.
Now simplify the product:
(1−2t)(1−43t)=1−43t−2t+83t2=1−45t+83t2.
Multiply by 4:
4AC=4−5t+23t2.
Hence
t−(4−5t+23t2)≥0,6t−4−23t2≥0.
Multiply by 2:
12t−8−3t2≥0,3t2−12t+8≤0.
Solve the quadratic equation
3t2−12t+8=0.
Its roots are
t=612±144−96=612±43=2±323.
So the inequality gives
2−323≤t≤2+323.
But also t=sin22θ∈[0,1].
Therefore,
S=[2−323,1].
So
α=2−323,β=1.
3. Compute the required expression
We need
3((α−2)2+(β−1)2).
Now,
α−2=−323⟹(α−2)2=34,
and
(β−1)2=(1−1)2=0.
Thus
3(34+0)=4.
