Given that .....................  I 
sin 1 6 x  sin 1 6 3 x  
2
Let sin 1 6 x   & sin 1 6 3 x  
sin   6 x & sin   6 3 x
cos   1  36 x 2 & cos   1  108 x 2

Equation Ican be written as     

  
cos      cos   
 2 
cos  .cos   sin  .sin   0

1  36 x 2 . 1  108 x 2  6 x.6 3 x
squaring on both sides
1  36 x 1  108 x   3888 x

the original equation .
what have done is for x. y  1

81. Given equation holds if

x 2  x  0 and 0  x 2  x  1  1
 x 2  x  0 and x 2  x  1  1 as x 2  x  1isalways  ve
 x 2  x  0 and x 2  x  0
 x 2  x  0  x  0, 1
which will satisfy the original equation
Hence the solutions are 0,  1.
