If 3x2−10x−25=0 is a quadratic equation such that it has two roots tanAand tanB then find out the value of 3sin2(A+B)−10sin(A+B).cos(A+B)−25cos2(A+B).
A. −10
B. 10
C. −25
D. 25
Solution
We know that if αand β are the roots of quadratic equation of Px2+Qx+R=0 then the roots are written as α=2P−Q+Q2−4PR and β=2P−Q−Q2−4PR
So, the sum of the two roots are α+β=P−Q and the product of the two roots are α.β=PR
Complete step-by-step solution:
Here the quadratic equation is given 3x2−10x−25=0 and the roots are tanA and tanB .
So, the sum of the two roots tanA+tanB=310
Product of the two roots tanA.tanB=3−25
Now we know, tan(A+B)=1−tanA.tanBtanA+tanB
Putting the above values we get ⇒1−(3−25)310=328310=145
Now calculate tan(A+B)=cos(A+B)sin(A+B)=145 ⇒sin(A+B)=cos(A+B)×145 ⇒sin2(A+B)=cos2(A+B)×19625
We know that sin2θ+cos2θ=1
Put the value of sin2(A+B) in this equation,hence we get
∴ cos2(A+B)×19625+cos2(A+B)=1 ⇒cos(A+B)=22114 ⇒sin(A+B)=145×22114=2215
Now put the value of sin(A+B) and cos(A+B) in the following equation,
3sin2(A+B)−10sin(A+B).cos(A+B)−25cos2(A+B)
=3×22125−10×2215×22114−25×221196 =22175−700−4900 =−25
The value of the required expression is −25
Hence, option (C) will be the right answer.
Note: Here we used Px2+Qx+R=0 as a quadratic equation because A and B are used in the question.
Not all equations can be easily factored. Thus we need a formula to solve the equation so we use a quadratic formula. There are three conditions –
1. If Q2−4PR⟩0 then we will get two real solutions.
2. If Q2−4PR=0 then we will get a double root.
3. If Q2−4PR⟨0 then we will get two complex solutions.
