The correct Answer is:
To find the number of solutions for the equation \(2\sin x - 3\cos x = 7\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Rearrange the Equation**: Start by isolating \(2\sin x\): \[ 2\sin x = 3\cos x + 7 \] 2. **Determine the Range of \(2\sin x\)**: The sine function, \(\sin x\), has a range of \([-1, 1]\). Therefore, multiplying by 2 gives: \[ 2\sin x \text{ has a range of } [-2, 2]. \] 3. **Determine the Range of \(3\cos x + 7\)**: The cosine function, \(\cos x\), also has a range of \([-1, 1]\). Thus, multiplying by 3 gives: \[ 3\cos x \text{ has a range of } [-3, 3]. \] Adding 7 to this range results in: \[ 3\cos x + 7 \text{ has a range of } [4, 10]. \] 4. **Compare the Ranges**: Now we compare the ranges of both sides: - The left-hand side (LHS) \(2\sin x\) ranges from \([-2, 2]\). - The right-hand side (RHS) \(3\cos x + 7\) ranges from \([4, 10]\). 5. **Conclusion**: Since there is no overlap between the ranges of the LHS and RHS, we conclude that there are no values of \(x\) for which \(2\sin x - 3\cos x = 7\) holds true. Therefore, the equation has: \[ \text{No solutions.} \]
