Question

The number of values of x in the interval [0,5π] satisfying the equation [0,5π] is

Options

A.0
B.5
C.6
D.10

Solution

Given, 3sin2 x - 7sin x + 2 = 0
⇒     3sin2 x - 6sin x + 2 = 0
⇒     3sin x(sin x - 2) - 1(sin x - 2) = 0
⇒     (3sin x - 1)(sin x - 2) = 0
⇒     sin x =(∵ sin x = 2 is rejecterd)
⇒     x = nπ + (-1)n sin-1, n ∈ I
For 0 ≤ n ≤ 5x, ∈ [0, 5π]
There are six values of x ∈ [0, 5π] which satisfy the equation
    3sin2 x - 7sin x + 2 = 0
