Question: If α and β are the solutions of sin<sup>2</sup>x + asinx + b = 0 as well as that of cos<sup>2</sup>x...
If α and β are the solutions of sin2x + asinx + b = 0 as well as that of cos2x + ccosx + d = 0, then sin(α + β) is equal to
A
b2+d22bd
B
2aca2+c2
C
2bdb2+d2
D
a2+c22ac
Answer
a2+c22ac
Explanation
Solution
According to the given condition,
sinα + sinβ = –a and cos α + cosβ = – c .
2sin2α+βcos2α−β=−aand2cos2α+βcos2α−β=−c ⇒ tan2α+β=ca
⇒ sin(α+β)=1+tan22α+β2tan2α+β=a2+c22ac
