Trigonometric Identities Question 68

Question: If $ {{\cos }^{6}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{6}}\alpha +K,{{\sin }^{2}}2\alpha =1, $ then K =

Options:

A) $ \frac{4}{3} $

B) $ \frac{3}{4} $

C) $ \frac{1}{2} $

D) 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Since $ {{\cos }^{6}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{6}}\alpha +K{{\sin }^{2}}2\alpha =1 $ using formula $ a^{3}+b^{3}={{(a+b)}^{3}}-3ab(a+b) $ and on solving, we get the required result i.e. $ K=\frac{3}{4} $ .
