The equation sinx(sinx+cosx)=k has real solutions then :
a) 0≤k≤21+2
b) 2−3≤k≤2+3
c) 0≤k≤2−3
d) (21−2)≤k≤(21+2)
Solution
Solve the equation by using trigonometric formulae like sin2x=2sinxcosx and cos2x=1−2sin2x and find the range of k .
Complete step-by-step answer:
Given , the equation sinx(sinx+cosx)=k has real solutions .
By solving the equation we get ,
sinx(sinx+cosx)=k
⇒sin2x+sinxcosx=k……(i)
We know that ,
sin2x=2sinxcosx
⇒sinxcosx=2sin2x…..(ii)
Again ,
cos2x=1−2sin2x
⇒2sin2x=1−cos2x
⇒sin2x=21−2cos2x…..(iii)
Substituting the values of (ii) and (iii) in the equation (i) we get ,
21−2cos2x+2sin2x=k
⇒1−cos2x+sin2x=2k
⇒sin2x−cos2x=2k−1……(iv)
Now , let f(x)=sinx−cosx
=2×21(sinx−cosx)
=2(21sinx−21cosx
=2(cos45∘sinx−sin45∘cosx)
=2sin(x−4π)
Range of the sin function is [ -1 , 1 ]
The range of f(x) will be [−2,2]----(v)
Putting the range in equation (iv) we get ,
sin2x−cos2x=2k−1
⇒−2≤2k−1≤2
⇒(1−2)≤2k≤(1+2)
Dividing both sides by 2 we get ,
⇒(21−2)≤k≤(21+2)
The range of k is (21−2)≤k≤(21+2)
Thus , the correct option is d) (21−2)≤k≤(21+2).
Note: Before starting the problem , the student needs to be properly acquainted with the trigonometric formulae . Now , after using the formulae , the equation can be easily solved . The student needs to find the range from the trigonometric functions in the equation (iv) . After that , they can put the values of the range and find the range of k . Students go wrong in understanding the problem and choosing the required formulae . Once they understand the concept properly , the sum can be solved easily .
