Q64 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

If 6cos2θ+2cos2θ2+2sin2θ=0, -π<θ<π, then θ=

  • A
    π3
  • B
    π3, cos-135
  • C
    cos-135
  • Correct answer
    D
    ±π3, ±π-cos-135

Solution

Given, θ∈-π,π

6cos2θ+2cos2θ2+2sin2θ=0

⇒61-2sin2θ+2cos2θ2+2sin2θ=0

⇒6-10sin2θ+2cos2θ2=0

⇒6-101-cos2θ+1+cosθ=0

⇒10cos2θ+cosθ-3=0

⇒10cos2θ-5cosθ+6cosθ-3=0

⇒5cosθ+32cosθ-1=0

⇒cosθ=-35,12

⇒θ=π3,-π3,π-cos-135,-π+cos-135 ∵cos(-x)=cosx 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
