5(1+cos2x1−cos2x−21+cos2x)=2cos2x+9
Let, cos2x=y
∴5(1+y1−y−21+y)=2y+9
⇒5[−y2−4y+1]=4y2+22y+18
⇒9y2+42y+13=0
⇒y=−31 or y=−313 (Not possible)
Now, cos4x=2cos22x−1
⇒cos4x=2(−31)2−1
⇒cos4x=−97

Number of solutions of $\sqrt{3} \cos 2 \theta+8 \cos \theta+3 \sqrt{3}=0, \theta \in[-3 \pi, 2 \pi]$ is:
The value of sin²30° + cos²30° 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 :
The number of elements in the set $\left\{x \in\left[0,180^{\circ}\right]: \tan \left(x+100^{\circ}\right)=\tan \left(x+50^{\circ}\right) \tan x \tan \left(x-50^{\circ}\right)\right\}$ is $\_\_\_\_$.
