Previous Year Question (PYQs)



Given that $\cos 6x=a\cos^6x+b\cos^4x+c\cos^2x+d$ for any real number $x$, find the value of $a+b+c$.





Solution

Given: $\cos 6x=a\cos^6x+b\cos^4x+c\cos^2x+d$ Put $x=0$ 
$\cos 0=a\cos^6 0+b\cos^4 0+c\cos^2 0+d$ 
$1=a+b+c+d$ ...(1) 

Put $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ 

$\cos 3\pi=a\cos^6\frac{\pi}{2}+b\cos^4\frac{\pi}{2}+c\cos^2\frac{\pi}{2}+d$ 
$-1=d$ ...(2) 

From (1), 
$a+b+c+d=1$ 
$a+b+c-1=1$ 
$a+b+c=2$ 
Answer: $2$
