Solution :`alpha` and `beta` are the ROOTS of the equation `(cos theta)/(cos A)+(sin theta)/(sin A)=1`
`rArr ((cos theta)/(cos A))^(2)=(1-(sin theta)/(sin A))^(2)`
`rArr (1-sin^(2)theta)/(cos^(2)A)=1-2(sin theta)/(sin A)+((sin theta)/(sin A))^(2)`
`rArr (1)/(cos^(2)A)=1-2(sin theta)/(sin A)+(sin^(2)theta)/(sin^(2)A)+(sin^(2))/(cos^(2)A)`
`rArr -(1)/(cos^(2)A)-2(sin theta)/(sin A)+(sin^(2)theta)/(sin^(2)A cos^(2)A)=0`
`rArr -(sin^(2)A)/(cos^(2)A)-2(sin theta)/(sin A)+(sin^(2)theta)/(sin^(2)A cos^(2)A)=0`
`rArr -(sin^(2)A)/(cos^(2)A)-2(sin theta)/(sin A)+(sin^(2)theta)(sin^(2)A cos(2)A)=0`
`rArr ((sin theta)/(sin A))^(2)-2((sin theta)/(sin A))cos^(2) A - sin^(2) A = 0`
Clearly,
`(sin alpha)/(sin A)` and `(sin beta)` are the roots of this equation
`therefore (sin alpha)/(sin A)(sin B)/(sin A)=-sin^(2)A`
`rArr (sin alpha sin beta)/(sin^(2)A)=-sin^(2)A`
Similarly, by MAKING a quadratic in ......(1)
`(cos theta)/(cos A)`, we get
`(cos alpha cos beta)/(cos^(2)A)=-cos^(2)A`.....(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get
`(cos alpha cos beta)/(cos^(2)A)+(sin alpha sin beta)/(sin^(2)A)=-(cos^(2)A+sin^(2)A)=-1`

Solution :`F(x)=x^(3)-3(7-a)x^(2)-3(9-a^(2))x+2`
f(X)=`3x^(2)-6(7-a)x-3(9-a^(2))`
for real root `Dge0`
or `49+a^(2)-14a+9-a^(2)ge0 or ale58/14`
when point of minma is negativepoint of maxima is also NEGATIVE
HENCE EQUATION f(x) =`3xA^(2)-6(7-a)x-3(9-a^(2))` =0 has both roots negative
sum or roots =`2(7-a)lta or a gt 7 ` which is not possible as FORM (1) `ale58/14`
When pointof maxima is positive point of minima is also positive ltrbgt Hence equation `f(x) =3x^(2)-6(7-a)x-3(9-a^(2))=0` has both roots positive
sum roots =`2(7-a)gt0 or alt7`
Also product of roots is positive or `-(9-a^(2))gt0 or a^(32)gt9 or a in (-oo,-3)cup(3,oo)`
From (1),(2) and (3)in `(-oo,-3)cup(3,58//14)`
For points of extrema of opposite sign equation (1) has roots of opposite sign
