The number of solutions x of the equation sinx+x2-sinx2=sinx in the interval 2,3 is

  • A
    0
  • B
    1
  • Correct answer
    C
    2
  • D
    3

Solution

Given,

sinx+x2-sinx2=sinx

⇒sinx+x2=sinx2+sinx

⇒2sinx+x22cosx+x22=2sinx2+x2cosx2-x2

sinx+x22=0

or cosx2+x2-cosx2-x2=0

x2+x2=xπ or 2sinx22sinx2=0

⇒x2+x2=0,π,2π or x22=0,π,n2=0,π,2π

⇒x2+x=2π or x2=2π

⇒x2+x-2π=0 or x=2π

⇒x=-1±1+8π2 or 2<2π<3

⇒1+8π≈25.14

∴x=5.2-12=422=2.1

∵ Total numbers of solution lies between 2,3=2

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