Question -


Between any two real roots of the equation ex sin x = 1, the equation ex cos x = - 1 has

Options:
A .   Atleast one root
B .   Exactly one root
C .   Atmost one root
D .   No root
Answer: Option A
:
A

Let ,β(<β) be any two real roots of
f(x) = e - x - sin x
Then, f()=0=f(β)
Moreover, f(x) is continuos and differentiable for x ε[,β].
Hence, from Rolle's thereom, thereom, there exists atleast one x in ,β such t
f(x)=0excos x=0ex(1+ex cos x)=0ex cos x=1.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
