Step-by-Step Verified Solution

To determine the range of the function f(θ)=sin⁡4θ+3cos⁡2θsin⁡4θ+cos⁡2θf(\theta)=\frac{\sin ^4 \theta+3 \cos ^2 \theta}{\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta} , let's start by simplifying the expression. Let sin⁡2θ=x\sin^2 \theta = x , so cos⁡2θ=1−x\cos^2 \theta = 1 - x . The function then transforms into:

f(x)=x2+3(1−x)x2+(1−x)f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 3(1-x)}{x^2 + (1-x)}

Simplify the numerator and denominator separately:

Numerator: x2+3−3xx^2 + 3 - 3x

Denominator: x2+1−xx^2 + 1 - x

Thus, the function becomes:

f(x)=x2+3−3xx2+1−x=x2−3x+3x2−x+1f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 3 - 3x}{x^2 + 1 - x} = \frac{x^2 - 3x + 3}{x^2 - x + 1}

Next, we need to find the range of this function. Let's analyze the function by testing specific values of xx in the interval [0,1][0, 1] (since sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta ranges from 0 to 1):

When x=0x = 0 :

f(0)=02−3(0)+302−0+1=31=3f(0) = \frac{0^2 - 3(0) + 3}{0^2 - 0 + 1} = \frac{3}{1} = 3

When x=1x = 1 :

f(1)=12−3(1)+312−1+1=1−3+31−1+1=11=1f(1) = \frac{1^2 - 3(1) + 3}{1^2 - 1 + 1} = \frac{1 - 3 + 3}{1 - 1 + 1} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

It appears that f(x)f(x) achieves values within [1,3][1, 3] . To confirm this, we need to solve the quadratic inequality:

1≤x2−3x+3x2−x+1≤31 \leq \frac{x^2 - 3x + 3}{x^2 - x + 1} \leq 3

By solving the inequalities, it can be confirmed that the function indeed ranges from 1 to 3 on the interval [0,1]. Hence, we have:

α=1\alpha = 1

β=3\beta = 3

The common ratio of the infinite geometric progression is:

αβ=13\frac{\alpha}{\beta} = \frac{1}{3}

Given the first term a=64a = 64 , the sum SS of the infinite geometric progression can be given as:

S=a1−rS = \frac{a}{1 - r}

Substituting the values a=64a = 64 and r=13r = \frac{1}{3} , we get:

S=641−13=6423=64×32=96S = \frac{64}{1 - \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{64}{\frac{2}{3}} = 64 \times \frac{3}{2} = 96

Therefore, the sum of the infinite geometric progression is 96.
