Solution

We have 3 sin x x cos x=aThe LHS of this equation is of the form a sin x+b cos xWhere a=3,b=1r=a2+b2=3+1=2So that a=r cos αb=r sin αLHS=r cos α sin x+r sin α cos x=r [sin(x+α)]=2 sin(x+α)So,3 sin xcos x=a2 sin(x+α)asin(x+α)=a2This equation has a solution only if 2 a2.The equation has no solution if a(,2)(2,).
