The number of values of x in the interval (π4,7π4)\left( {{\pi \over 4},{{7\pi } \over 4}} \right) for which

14cos⁡ec2x−2sin⁡2x=21−4cos⁡2x14\cos e{c^2}x - 2{\sin ^2}x = 21 - 4{\cos ^2}x holds, is ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

14sin⁡2x−2sin⁡2x=21−4(1−sin⁡2x){{14} \over {{{\sin }^2}x}} - 2{\sin ^2}x = 21 - 4(1 - {\sin ^2}x)

Let sin⁡2x=t{\sin ^2}x = t

⇒14−2t2=21t−4t+4t2\Rightarrow 14 - 2{t^2} = 21t - 4t + 4{t^2}

⇒6t2+17t−14=0\Rightarrow 6{t^2} + 17t - 14 = 0

⇒6t2+21t−4t−14=0\Rightarrow 6{t^2} + 21t - 4t - 14 = 0

⇒3t(2t+7)−2(2t+7)=0\Rightarrow 3t(2t + 7) - 2(2t + 7) = 0

⇒sin⁡2x=23\Rightarrow {\sin ^2}x = {2 \over 3} or −73- {7 \over 3} (rejected)

⇒sin⁡x= ± 23\Rightarrow \sin x = \, \pm \,\sqrt {{2 \over 3}}
