    \[5({{\tan }^{2}}x-{{\cos }^{2}}x)=2\cos 2x+9,\]then the value of \[\cos 4x\]is :-     JEE Main Solved Paper-2017

    A)  \[-\frac{7}{9}\]                                

    B)  \[-\frac{3}{5}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{3}\]                                   

    D)  \[\frac{2}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[5\left[ \frac{1-t}{t}-t \right]=2(2t-1)+9\]           \[\{\text{Let}\,{{\cos }^{2}}x=t\}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[5(1-t-{{t}^{2}})=t(4t+7)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[9{{t}^{2}}+12t-5=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[9{{t}^{2}}+15t-3t-5=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(3t-1)(3t+5)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[t=\frac{1}{3}\,\,as\,t\ne -\frac{5}{3}.\] \[\cos 2x=2\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)-1=-\frac{1}{3}\] \[\cos 4x=2{{\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2}}-1=-\frac{7}{9}\]
