The number of values of x in the interval [0, 3π] satisfying the equation 2 sin2 x + 5 sin x - 3 = 0 is

Answer»

\implies

GIVEN,

  • x + 5 sin x – 3 = 0

  • 2 sin x(sin x + 3) – 1(sin x + 3) = 0
  • (2 sin x – 1)(sin x + 3) = 0
  • sin x = 1/2, sin x = -3 {not possible SINCE -1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1}
  • Thus, x = π/6, 5π/6, 13π/6, 17π/6
  • Hence, the number of values of x in the INTERVAL [0, 3π] are 4.

hence the answer is 4
