Trigonometric Identities Question 236

Question: If $ 0\le x\le \pi $ and $ {81^{{{\sin }^{2}}x}}+{81^{{{\cos }^{2}}x}}=30, $ then x=

Options:

A) $ \pi /6 $

B) $ \pi /2 $

C) $ \pi /4 $

D) $ 3\pi /4 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

We have, $ {81^{{{\sin }^{2}}x}}+{81^{{{\cos }^{2}}x}}=30 $ Now check by options, put $ x=\frac{\pi }{6} $ then $ {{(81)}^{{{\sin }^{2}}\pi /6}}+{{(81)}^{{{\cos }^{2}}\pi /6}}=30 $
$ \Rightarrow {{(81)}^{1/4}}+{{(81)}^{3/4}}=30\Rightarrow 30=30 $
