Let \(S\) be the set of all \(\alpha  \in  R\) such that the equation, \(cos\,2 x + \alpha  \,sin\, x = 2\alpha  -7\) has a solution. Then \(S\) is equal to

  1. A \([3, 7]\)
  2. B \(R\)
  3. C \([2, 6]\)
  4. D \([1, 4]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \([2, 6]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\cos 2 x+2 \sin x=2 \alpha-7\) \(\Rightarrow 1-2 \sin ^{2} x+\alpha \sin x=2 \alpha-7\) \(\Rightarrow 2 \sin ^{2} x-\alpha \sin x+2 \alpha-8=0\) \(\Rightarrow \sin x=\frac{\alpha \pm \sqrt{\alpha^{2}-8(2 \alpha-8)}}{4}\)…
