The number of solutions of the equation ∣cot⁡x∣=cotx+cosecx\left|\cot x\right| = cot x + cosecx in [0,10π]\left[0,10\pi\right] is/are

Correct answer

5

Step-by-step solution

If xx lies in 1stor3rd{1}^{st} or {3}^{rd} quadrant then \left|\cot x\right| = cot x,thusequationbecomes<br/>thus equation becomes<br />cot x = cot x + \dfrac{1}{sin x} ⇒ \dfrac{1}{sin x} = 0,notpossible<br/>Ifnot possible<br />Ifxliesinlies in{2}^{nd} or {4}^{th}quadrant,then∣cot⁡x∣=−cotx,quadrant, then \left|\cot x\right| = - cot x, thus equation becomes
−cotx=cotx+1sinx- cot x = cot x + \dfrac{1}{sin x}
⇒−2cotx=1sinx⇒−2cosxsinx=sinx⇒ - 2cot x = \dfrac{1}{sin x} ⇒ - 2cos xsin x = sin x
⇒sinx(1+2cosx)=0⇒cosx=−12(∵sinx≠0)⇒ sin x\left(1 + 2cos x\right) = 0 ⇒ cos x = - \dfrac{1}{2}\left(∵ sin x \ne 0\right)
⇒x=2π3⇒ x = \dfrac{2\pi}{3} is the only solution
(In 2nd{2}^{nd} quad.)
In \left[0,2\pi\right]thereisonlyonesolution<br/>In[0,10π]there is only one solution<br />In \left[0,10\pi\right], we get, five solutions
