If 0 ≤ φ ≤ 3π , then the set of all value of φ for which sum of the squares of the roots of the equation x2 + (sin φ – 1) x – 21cos2φ=0 is greatest is-
A
{π,23π,2π,3π}
B
{π , 3π}
C
{2π, 5π/4}
D
{23π}
Answer
{23π}
Explanation
Solution
α2 + β2 = (sin φ - 1)2 + 2 cos2 φ
= 3 – 2 sin φ – sin2φ = 4 – (sin φ + 1)2
Which is greatest when sin φ = –1
So, φ = 3π / 2
