JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 12)

The number of distinct solutions of the equation
$${\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left| {\sin x} \right| = 2 - {\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left| {\cos x} \right|$$ in the interval [0, 2$$\pi $$], is ____.
Answer
8

Explanation

$${\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left| {\sin x} \right| = 2 - {\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left| {\cos x} \right|$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left| {\sin x} \right|$$ + $${\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left| {\cos x} \right|$$ = 2

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${\log _{{1 \over 2}}}\left( {\left| {\sin x\cos x} \right|} \right)$$ = 2

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${\left| {\sin x\cos x} \right| = {1 \over 4}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ sin 2x = $$ \pm $$ $${1 \over 2}$$ JEE Main 2020 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Mathematics - Logarithm Question 8 English Explanation
