Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

S1={x∈[0,12π], sin⁡5x+cos⁡5x=1}{S_1} = \left\{ {x \in \left[ {0,12\pi } \right],\,{{\sin }^5}x + {{\cos }^5}x = 1} \right\}

S2={x∈[0,8π], sin⁡7x+cos⁡7x=1}{S_2} = \left\{ {x \in \left[ {0,8\pi } \right],\,{{\sin }^7}x + {{\cos }^7}x = 1} \right\}

(1) sin⁡5x+cos⁡5x=1{\sin ^5}x + {\cos ^5}x = 1

This satisfies when sin⁡x=1\sin x = 1 and cos⁡x=0\cos x = 0

∴\therefore x=π2,5π2,9π2,13π2,17π2,21π2x = {\pi \over 2},{{5\pi } \over 2},{{9\pi } \over 2},{{13\pi } \over 2},{{17\pi } \over 2},{{21\pi } \over 2}

It also satisfies when sin⁡x=0\sin x = 0 and cos⁡x=1\cos x = 1

∴\therefore x=0, 2π,4π,6π,8π,10π,12πx = 0,\,2\pi ,4\pi ,6\pi ,8\pi ,10\pi ,12\pi

∴\therefore Accepted values of x in [0,12π]\left[ {0,12\pi } \right] is = 13

∴\therefore n(S1)=13n({S_1}) = 13

(2) sin⁡7x+cos⁡7x=1{\sin ^7}x + {\cos ^7}x = 1

This satisfies when sin⁡x=1\sin x = 1 and cos⁡x=0\cos x = 0

For x∈[0, 8π]x \in \left[ {0,\,8\pi } \right] , possible values

x=π2,5π2,9π2,13π2x = {\pi \over 2},{{5\pi } \over 2},{{9\pi } \over 2},{{13\pi } \over 2}

It also satisfies when sin⁡x=0\sin x = 0 and cos⁡x=1\cos x = 1

x∈[0,8π]x \in \left[ {0,8\pi } \right] , possible values

x=0,2π,4π,6π,8πx = 0,2\pi ,4\pi ,6\pi ,8\pi

∴\therefore Total accepted values of x in [0,8π]\left[ {0,8\pi } \right] is = 9

∴\therefore n(S2)=9n({S_2}) = 9

∴\therefore n(S1)−n(S2)=13−9=4n({S_1}) - n({S_2}) = 13 - 9 = 4
