IIT Question

IF
(sin4x)/2+(cos4x)/3=1/5

then
(a)tan2x=2/3
(b)sin8x/8+cos8x/27=1/125
(c)tan2x=1/3
(d)sin8x/8+cos8x/27=2/125???

use cauchy schwarz to get it directly
cauchy inequality is
(Σai2)(Σbi2)≥Σaibi2,
but wat sir had chosen ai and bi very cleverly

Hari Shankar ·

the shortest way to do this is by Cauchy Schwarz Inequality (Titu's lemma)

By this inequality we have

\frac{\sin^4 x}{2} + \frac{\cos^4 x}{3} \ge \frac{(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x)^2}{3+2} = \frac{1}{5} with equality occuring only when

\frac{\sin^2 x}{4} = \frac{\cos^2 x}{9} \Rightarrow \tan^2 x = \frac{4}{9}

Done!!

prophet sir i didnt get wat u said..........

Manmay kumar Mohanty ·

sin 4x2+cos 4x3= 1/5

3sin 4x + 2(1-sin2x)2 = 6/5

25sin 4x - 20 sin2x + 4 =0

which gives,
sin 2x = 2/5, cos 2x = 3/5

from this we get options (A) and (B) correct.

Its usually a good idea to proofread one's questions.
