Solution
Hint : Here in this question first we multiply the sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A and then we are going to substitute the needed values to the equation and we are adding the coefficient of the equation and hence we obtain the required result.
Complete step-by-step answer :
Now consider the polynomial sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A
Where sin2A=2sinA.cosA , sin3A=3sinA−4sin3A and
sin4A=sin(3A+A)
Now we apply the formula sin(A+B)=sinA.cosB+cosA.sinB we have
⇒sin4A=sin3A.cosA+cos3A.sinA
And by applying the formula sin3A=3sinA−4sin3A and cos3A=4cos3A−3cosA , hence we have ⇒sin4A=(3sinA−4sin3A).cosA+(4cos3A−3cosA).sinA
⇒sin4A=(3sinAcosA−4sin3AcosA)+(4cos3AsinA−3cosAsinA)
On simplification
⇒sin4A=4cos3AsinA−4sin3AcosA
Now we will substitute all the values in the polynomial we have
sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=sinA(2sinAcosA)(3sinA−4sin3A)(4cos3AsinA−4sin3AcosA)
On multiplying the first two terms we have
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=(2sin2AcosA)(3sinA−4sin3A)(4cos3AsinA−4sin3AcosA)
Multiply the first two terms of the above equation
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=(6sin3AcosA−8sin5AcosA)(4cos3AsinA−4sin3AcosA)
On further simplification we have
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24sin4Acos4A−24sin6Acos2A−32sin6Acos4A+32sin8Acos2A
By the data we have sin2A=x applying the square root we have
sinA=±x
We know the standard trigonometric equation that is sin2x+cos2x=1 , this can be written as cos2x=1−sin2x . As we know the value of the sin2A=x and using the standard trigonometric equations we can write as cos2A=1−x .
Now consider the polynomial that is sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24sin4Acos4A−24sin6Acos2A−32sin6Acos4A+32sin8Acos2A
Substituting the values, we have
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24(x)4(1−x)2−24(x)6(1−x)−32(x)6(1−x)2+32(x)8(1−x)
Here we use (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2 to the (1−x)2
Hence, we have
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24x4(1−2x+x2)−24x6(1−x)−32x6(1−2x+x2)+32x8(1−x)
On further simplification
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24x4−48x5+24x6−24x6+24x7−32x6+64x7−32x8+32x8−32x9
Cancelling some terms
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24x4−48x5+24x7−32x6+64x7−32x9
Adding the terms which are having same power raised to x,
⇒sinAsin2Asin3Asin4A=24x4−48x5+88x7−32x6−32x9
Now we have to the only coefficient of the polynomial, here we have the 24, -48, 88, -32 and -32
Now we add the coefficients 24−48+88−32−32
We will add 24 and -48
⇒−24+88−32−32
Now we will add -24 and 88
⇒64−32−32
Now we will add 64 and -32
⇒32−32=0 and hence we have 0 has the sum of coefficients of the polynomial.
So, the correct answer is “Option a”.
Note : We must know about the trigonometry formulas and conditions and we should multiply the term very carefully. Since the polynomial contains four terms if we go wrong in any one of the steps, we may not be able to obtain the correct solution for the question.
