Question

Let $a, b, c$ be three non zero real numbers such that the equation
$\sqrt{3} a cos x + 2 b sin x = c, x \in [- \frac{π}{2}, \frac{π}{2}]$
has two distinct real roots $α$ and $β$ with $α + β = \frac{π}{3}$ . Then, the value of $\frac{b}{a}$ is .

Solution

$\sqrt{3} a cos x + 2 b sin x = c$ and $α + β = \frac{π}{3}$
Substituting $x = α$ and $x = β$ ,
$\sqrt{3} a cos α + 2 b sin α = c$ ..................(i)
$\sqrt{3} a cos β + 2 b sin β = c$ ..................(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i),
$\sqrt{3} a (cos α - cos β) + 2 b (sin α - sin β) = 0 \Rightarrow \sqrt{3} a [- 2 sin (\frac{α + β}{2}) sin (\frac{α - β}{2})] + 2 b [2 cos (\frac{α + β}{2}) sin (\frac{α - β}{2})] = 0$
using $α + β = \frac{π}{3}$ ,
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3} a [- sin (\frac{α - β}{2})] + 2 b [\sqrt{3} sin (\frac{α - β}{2})] = 0$
$∴ - \sqrt{3} a + 2 \sqrt{3} b = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{b}{a} = 0.5$
