f the equation sin4x – (k + 2)sin2x – (k + 3) = 0 has a solution then possible value of k can be
Question
If the equation has a solution then possible value of k can be
Solution
The given equation is sin4x - (k + 2)sin2x - (k + 3) = 0.
This equation is in the form of a quadratic equation, where sin2x is the variable.
Let's denote sin2x as y. So, the equation becomes y^2 - (k + 2)y - (k + 3) = 0.
For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 to have real roots, the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) must be greater than or equal to 0.
In this case, a = 1, b = -(k + 2), and c = -(k + 3).
So, the discriminant is ((k + 2)^2 - 41(-(k + 3))).
Solving this inequality gives us the possible values of k.
Let's solve it:
(k + 2)^2 - 4*(k + 3) >= 0
k^2 + 4k + 4 + 4k + 12 >= 0
k^2 + 8k + 16 >= 0
This is a perfect square, (k + 4)^2 >= 0.
Since the square of a real number is always non-negative, this inequality holds for all real numbers.
Therefore, the possible value of k can be any real number.
