### Related Formula Fundamental identities: sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 tan x = fracsin xcos x Algebraic identity for a perfect cube: (A + B)^3 = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3 ### Core Logic Given equation: sin x + sin^2 x = 1 implies sin x = 1 - sin^2 x = cos^2 x Dividing both sides by cos^2 x: fracsin xcos^2 x = 1 implies tan x sec x = 1 implies tan x = cos x ### Step 1: Simplify the Expression Since tan x = cos x, we can substitute tan x with cos x throughout the given expression: (cos^12 x + cos^12 x) + 3(cos^10 x + cos^10 x + cos^8 x + cos^8 x) + (cos^6 x + cos^6 x) = 2cos^12 x + 6cos^10 x + 6cos^8 x + 2cos^6 x = 2left[cos^12 x + 3cos^10 x + 3cos^8 x + cos^6 xright] ### Step 2: Apply the Cubic Identity Notice that the expression inside the brackets matches the expansion of a perfect cube: = 2left[(cos^4 x + cos^2 x)^3right] Since cos^2 x = sin x, it follows that cos^4 x = sin^2 x. Substituting these back in: = 2left[(sin^2 x + sin x)^3right] We know from the problem statement that sin x + sin^2 x = 1. Therefore: = 2(1)^3 = 2 ### Pattern Recognition When given sin x + sin^2 x = 1, the substitution cos^2 x = sin x or tan x = cos x is a classic identity trick.

Case A: sin(3\theta) = 0 \implies 3\theta = n\pi \implies \theta = \frac{n\pi}{3} Values inside interval: \left\{-\frac{pi}{3}, 0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right\} (3 solutions). Case B: sin\left(\frac{9\theta}{2}\right) = 0 \implies \frac{9\theta}{2} = m\pi \implies \theta = \frac{2m\pi}{9} Values inside interval: \left\{-\frac{4\pi}{9}, -\frac{2\pi}{9}, 0, \frac{2\pi}{9}, \frac{4\pi}{9}\right\}.

### Related Formula Logarithmic addition property: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab). Double \angle sine formula: 2sin x cos x = sin 2x. ### Step 1: Simplify Set A Combine the logarithmic elements: log_(2/pi) left(|sin x| cdot |cos x|right) = 2 |sin x cos x| = left(frac2piright)^2 = frac4pi^2 |2sin x cos x| = frac8pi^2 Rightarrow |sin 2x| = frac8pi^2 Since pi^2 approx 9.87, frac8pi^2 approx 0.81, which is less than 1. Plotting |sin 2x| = frac8pi^2 over the specified range x in (0, pi) yields exactly 4 real intersection points[cite: 3314, 3906].

Hence, n(A) = 4. ### Step 2: Simplify Set B Let sqrtx = t where t ge 0. The equation becomes[cite: 3316, 3910]: t(t-4) - 3|t-2| + 6 = 0 **Case I:** If t < 2 : t^2 - 4t - 3(-(t-2)) + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - 4t + 3t - 6 + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - t = 0 t = 0, 1 Rightarrow x = 0, 1 [cite: 3912, 3913] **Case II:** If t > 2 : t^2 - 4t - 3(t-2) + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - 4t - 3t + 6 + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0 [cite: 3915, 3916] (t-3)(t-4) = 0 Rightarrow t = 3, 4 Rightarrow x = 9, 16 [cite: 3917, 3918] Hence, set B = \0, 1, 9, 16\, giving n(B) = 4. ### Step 3: Calculate Union Since all elements of set A are non-integral angles in (0, pi) and elements of set B are pure integers, the sets are completely disjoint (A cap B = emptyset). n(A cup B) = n(A) + n(B) = 4 + 4 = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Always separate functions into disjoint numeric domains (e.g., angles vs. whole integers) to conclude unions without performing tedious tracking of individual values manually. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Trigonometric Functions Class 11 Mathematics: Sets
