Question

Number of solutions satisfying the equation 1sin x1sin 2x=2sin 4x in [0,4π] is 

Moderate
Solution

1sin x1sin 2x=2sin 4x  sin 2xsin xsin xsin 2x=22sin 2xcos 2x 2sin 2xcos 2x2sin xcos 2x=2sin x sin  4xsin 3x+sin  x=2sin x sin 4x=sin 3x+sin x 2sin 2xcos 2x=2sin 2xcos x              (as sin2x0 )  2x=2±x
 x=23,nI  (as x=2 is not in domain) n=1,2,4,5,.
Thus, four solution are 2π3,4π3,8π3,10π3.
