Let cos1x+cos12x+cos13x=π. If x satisfies the equation ax3+bx2+c=0 then the value of (a + b + c) is

Moderate
Solution

cos1(x)+cos1(2x)+cos1(3x)=π or cos1(2x)+cos1(3x)=πcos1(x)=cos1(x) or  cos1(2x)(3x)14x219x2=cos1(x) or 6x214x219x2=x or  6x2+x2=14x219x2 or  x2+12x3=113x2 or  12x3+14x21=0 a=12;b=14;c=-1 a+b+c=12+141=25
