Question

Let A(1+sinα,cosα); B(1cosβ,sinβ). If α,β are the roots of quadratic equation 3sinθ2sin2θ1=0 where 0θπ2 and the distance AB=a+b units, then a+b=

Solution

Given : 3sinθ2sin2θ1=0
(sinθ1)(12sinθ)=0
sinθ=1 or sinθ=12
θ=π2 or π6
Let α=π6,β=π2 or α=π2,β=π6 in both the cases distance is same as
AB=(sinα+cosβ)2+(cosα+sinβ)2
=2+2sin(α+β)=2+3
comparing with a+b a=2,b=3
a+b=5
