  • question_answer
    The value of a for which the equation \[{{\sin }^{4}}+{{\cos }^{4}}x+\sin 2x+\alpha =0\]may be valid, are

    A) \[-3/2\le \alpha \le 1\]               

    B) \[0\le \alpha \le 1/2\]

    C) \[-3/2\le \alpha \le 1/2\]      

    D) None

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x+\sin 2x+\alpha =0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{({{\sin }^{2}}x)}^{2}}+{{({{\cos }^{2}}x)}^{2}}+2{{\sin }^{2}}x{{\cos }^{2}}x\]\[-2{{\sin }^{2}}x{{\cos }^{2}}x+\sin 2x+\alpha =0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\sin }^{2}}2x-2\sin 2x-2-2\alpha =0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\sin 2x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{{{(2)}^{2}}-4\times 1(-2-2\alpha )}}{2\times 1}\]\[=1\pm \sqrt{3+2\alpha }\]
    If \[\sin 2x=1+\sqrt{3+2\alpha }>1.\]
    It is not possible.
    If \[\sin 2x=1-\sqrt{3+2\alpha }\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,-1\le 1-\sqrt{3+2\alpha }\le 1\Rightarrow -\frac{3}{2}\le \alpha \le \frac{1}{2}\]
