Question

The sum of the roots of the equation  4cos3x4cos2xcosπ+x1=0 in the interval 0,315 is pπ , where p is equal to

Moderate
Solution

We have 4cos3x4cos2xcosπ+x1=0

                   4cos3x4cos2x+cosx1=0

            4cos2x+1cosx1=0

             cosx=1x=2nπ

              We  have    100π<315<101π

Required sum = 2π+4π+......100π

                                   =21+2+....50π

                                    =2×50×512π=2550π
