cosx+sinx=21⇒1+sin2x=41⇒sin2x=−43, so x is obtuse and 1+tan2x2tanx=−43⇒3tan2x+8tanx+3=0 ∴tanx=6−8±64−36=3−4±7 ∵tanx<0∴tanx=3−4−7
If 0 < x < π and cos x+sin x= 1 2, then tan x is

If $\frac{\cos ^{2} 48^{\circ}-\sin ^{2} 12^{\circ}}{\sin ^{2} 24^{\circ}-\sin ^{2} 6^{\circ}}=\frac{\alpha+\beta \sqrt{5}}{2}$, where $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{N}$, then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_\_$
Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively be the maximum and the minimum values of the function $f(\theta)=4\left(\sin ^{4}\left(\frac{7 \pi}{2}-\theta\right)+\sin ^{4}(11 \pi+\theta)\right)-2\left(\sin ^{6}\left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}-\theta\right)+\sin ^{6}(9 \pi-\theta)\right), \theta \in \mathbf{R}$. Then $\alpha+2 \beta$ is equal to :
