number of solutions

Number os solutions of the eqn   tan x+ sec x= 2cos x ,
lying in the interval [0,2∩) is

a) 0
b)1
c)2
d)3
   

qwerty

Re: number of solutions

tanx+secx= 2cosx

multiply by cosx

sinx+ 1 = 2cos[p]2[/p]x

sinx+1 = 2- 2sin[p]2[/p]x

2sin[p]2[/p]x+ sinx - 1 = 0

2sin[p]2[/p]x + 2sinx - sinx - 1 = 0

2sinx(sinx+1) - (sinx+1) = 0

(sinx+1)(2sinx-1) = 0

sinx= -1 , sinx = 1/2

so x =  3pie/2 , or x = pie/6 ,or x =pie - pie/6

but for x = 3pie/2 , tanx isnt defined

hence x = pie/6 or 5pie/6

hence 2 solutions

is the ans correct ?

Re: number of solutions

Good work


btw for the number of solutions, you could also have looked at



sinx+ 1 = 2cos[p]2[/p]x

sin x = cos (2x)


and from graph tried to conclude the same!

Re: number of solutions

yes sir , i do want to improve my graphing abilities , and m learning the same  from Tiit !!! and some frndz wich i made here !!!  [1]

Re: number of solutions

ok....i hav to say something [3]

will teh no of point of intersection of grphs sin x and cos (2x)  give the no of solns of tan x+ sec x= 2cos x

bec  no of point of intersection of grphs sin x and cos (2x) will be 3......3pi/2 will also be its soln

but for this tan x+ sec x= 2cos x  3pi/2 is not a soln.....bec tan(3pi/2) is not defined

Re: number of solutions

OUT OF THESE , one point of intersection is not the solution [image]39823115.jpg[/image]

Re: number of solutions

u r rong i guess qwerty

sin 270=-1

cos(2*270)=-1

so how can u say 3pi/2 is not a soln of sinx=cos2x

Re: number of solutions

bhai tanx ka kya ??? [5]

me : giv me some more time , giv me sum brain , giv me another chance , to write my paper once again , examiner : na na na na , na na na na , na na na na na na na na na na !!!

Re: number of solutions

Another way:
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Ctan%20x%20+%20%5Csec%20x%20%3D%202%20%5Ccos%20x%20%5CRightarrow%20%5Csec%20x%20-%20%5Ctan%20x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%20%5Ccos%20x%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Csec%20x%7D%7B2%7D[/im]

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5CRightarrow%20%5Csec%20x%20%3D%202%20%5Ctan%20x[/im]


From the 1st eqn this implies

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Ccos%20x%20%3D%20%5Cpm%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%203%7D%7B2%7D[/im] and cos and tan must both have the same sign.

So 2 solutions
