Sin On E

Algebra Level 3

e sin x e sin x = 4 \large \displaystyle { e }^{ \sin { x } }-{ e }^{ - \sin { x } }=4

The above equation has how many real root(s)?

exactly four real roots infinite number of real roots exactly one real root no real root

e s i n x e^{-sin x} is positive number, so e s i n x > 4 e^{sin x}>4 .

Maximum value of s i n x sinx is 1, so maximum value of e s i n x e^{sin x} is e e . e e is not greater than 4, so no real solution.

1 sin x 1 -1\le \sin { x } \le 1

1 e e sin x e \displaystyle\therefore \quad \cfrac { 1 }{ e } \le { e }^{ \sin { x } }\le e

But according to the given equation e sin x = 2 ± 5 \displaystyle { e }^{ \sin { x } }=2\pm \sqrt { 5 } , which is not possible .

Rearranging the equation gives: ( e s i n x ) 2 4 e s i n x 1 = 0 e s i n x = 2 + 5 s i n x = L n ( 2 + 5 ) > 1 (e^{sin x})^2 - 4e^{sin x} -1 = 0 \Rightarrow\ e^{sin x} = 2 +\sqrt{5} \Rightarrow\ sin x = Ln(2+\sqrt{5}) > 1 n o r e a l s o l u t i o n s \therefore\ no \ real \ solutions

it's easy .....we can't under root minus ?? can we ??

1 = i \sqrt { -1 } =i

I couldn't understand what you wanted to tell.
