Question

The equation cos 2x + a sin x = 2a – 7 possesses a solution if

Solution

Correct option is

2 ≤ a ≤ 6

The given equation can be written as

 1 – 2 sin2 x + a sin x = 2a – 7

 ⇒ 2sin2 x – a sin x + 2 a – 8 = 0

 

Hence, sin x = (a – 4)/2( the other value is not possible as . This value is possible only when
