The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the sixth term of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) whose first three terms are given as \(3^{(2\sin 2\alpha - 1)}, 14,\) and \(3^{(4 - 2\sin 2\alpha)}\). ### Step 1: Identify the terms of the A.P. Let: - \(a_1 = 3^{(2\sin 2\alpha - 1)}\) - \(a_2 = 14\) - \(a_3 = 3^{(4 - 2\sin 2\alpha)}\) ### Step 2: Use the property of A.P. In an A.P., the middle term is the average of the other two terms. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ a_2 = \frac{a_1 + a_3}{2} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ 14 = \frac{3^{(2\sin 2\alpha - 1)} + 3^{(4 - 2\sin 2\alpha)}}{2} \] ### Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction. \[ 28 = 3^{(2\sin 2\alpha - 1)} + 3^{(4 - 2\sin 2\alpha)} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation. Let \(x = 3^{(2\sin 2\alpha)}\). Then, we can rewrite the terms: \[ 3^{(2\sin 2\alpha - 1)} = \frac{x}{3} \quad \text{and} \quad 3^{(4 - 2\sin 2\alpha)} = \frac{81}{x} \] Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ 28 = \frac{x}{3} + \frac{81}{x} \] ### Step 5: Multiply through by \(3x\) to eliminate the denominators. \[ 28 \cdot 3x = x^2 + 243 \] This simplifies to: \[ 84x = x^2 + 243 \] ### Step 6: Rearrange into standard quadratic form. \[ x^2 - 84x + 243 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is given by: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \(a = 1\), \(b = -84\), and \(c = 243\): \[ x = \frac{84 \pm \sqrt{(-84)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 243}}{2 \cdot 1} \] Calculating the discriminant: \[ (-84)^2 = 7056 \quad \text{and} \quad 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 243 = 972 \] Thus: \[ \sqrt{7056 - 972} = \sqrt{6084} = 78 \] Now substituting back: \[ x = \frac{84 \pm 78}{2} \] Calculating the two possible values: 1. \(x = \frac{162}{2} = 81\) 2. \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\) ### Step 8: Find the corresponding values of \(\sin 2\alpha\). Since \(x = 3^{(2\sin 2\alpha)}\), we have: 1. If \(x = 81\), then \(2\sin 2\alpha = 4 \Rightarrow \sin 2\alpha = 2\) (not possible). 2. If \(x = 3\), then \(2\sin 2\alpha = 1 \Rightarrow \sin 2\alpha = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow 2\alpha = \frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\pi}{12}\). ### Step 9: Calculate the terms of the A.P. Substituting \(\alpha = \frac{\pi}{12}\): - \(a_1 = 3^{(2\sin 2\alpha - 1)} = 3^{(0 - 1)} = \frac{1}{3}\) - \(a_2 = 14\) - \(a_3 = 3^{(4 - 2\sin 2\alpha)} = 3^{(4 - 1)} = 27\) ### Step 10: Find the common difference \(d\). The common difference \(d\) is: \[ d = a_2 - a_1 = 14 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{42 - 1}{3} = \frac{41}{3} \] ### Step 11: Calculate the sixth term of the A.P. Using the formula for the \(n\)-th term of an A.P.: \[ a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d \] For \(n = 6\): \[ a_6 = \frac{1}{3} + 5 \cdot \frac{41}{3} = \frac{1 + 205}{3} = \frac{206}{3} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the sixth term of the A.P. is \(\frac{206}{3}\). ---
