Question

If x[0,100π], then the number of solutions of the equation sin4xcos2xsinx+2sin2x+sinx=0 is

Open in App
Solution

sin4xcos2xsinx+2sin2x+sinx=0
sinx(sin3xcos2x+2sinx+1)=0
sinx(sin3x+sin2x+2sinx)=0
sin2x(sin2x+sinx+2)=0
sinx=0 or (sin2x+sinx+2)=0
When sin2x+sinx+2=0
D=18=7<0
So, no real solution.
Therefore,
sinx=0x=nπ
We know that x[0,100π],
x=0,π,2π,...,100π

Hence, the number of solutions is 101.
