If `2tan^2x-5secx=1` for exactly seven distinct value of `x in [0,(npi)/2],n in N` then find the greatest value of `ndot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`2 tan^(2)x-5 sec x=1`
or `2 sec^(2)x-2-5 sec x=1`
or `2 sec^(2) x-5 sec x-3 =0`
or `sec x=3" "( :' sec x= -1/2" not possible")`
This gives two values of x in each of `[0, 2pi], (2pi, 4pi], (4pi, 6pi]` and one value in `(6pi, 6 pi +(3pi)/2]` for n to be greatest.
`:.` Greatest value of `n=15`
