Practicing Success
Number of solutions of the equation $\begin{vmatrix}-1 & 0 & sin \theta \\sin \theta & -1 & 0\\0 & sin \theta & -1 \end{vmatrix}=0 $ in $(0, \pi )$ is : |
exactly one exactly zero exactly two infinitely many |
exactly one |
The correct answer is Option (1) → exactly one $Δ\begin{vmatrix}-1 & 0 &\sin \theta \\\sin \theta & -1 & 0\\0 &\sin \theta & -1 \end{vmatrix}=0$ $=-1(1)+0+\sin θ(\sin^2θ)=0$ $\sin^3θ=1⇒\sin θ=1$ in (0, π) it has only one solution at $θ=\frac{π}{2}$ |
