Question

Number of values of θ in 0,2π for which at least two roots of equation 

x31+cosθ+sinθx2+cosθsinθ+cosθ+sinθxsinθcosθ=0 are equal is

Moderate
Solution

Roots are 1, cosθ and sinθ .Now two roots are equal 

sinθ=1 or cosθ=1 or sinθ=cosθ θ=π2,θ=0,2π or θ=π4or 5π4

there are 5 values of θ in0,2π.
