The sum of the roots of the equation

$$x + 1 - 2{\log _2}(3 + {2^x}) + 2{\log _4}(10 - {2^{ - x}}) = 0$$, is :

cosec18$$^\circ$$ is a root of the equation :

The set of all values of K > $$-$$1, for which the equation $${(3{x^2} + 4x + 3)^2} - (k + 1)(3{x^2} + 4x + 3)(3{x^2} + 4x + 2) + k{(3{x^2} + 4x + 2)^2} = 0$$ has real roots, is :

Let $$\alpha = \mathop {\max }\limits_{x \in R} \{ {8^{2\sin 3x}}{.4^{4\cos 3x}}\} $$ and $$\beta = \mathop {\min }\limits_{x \in R} \{ {8^{2\sin 3x}}{.4^{4\cos 3x}}\} $$. If $$8{x^2} + bx + c = 0$$ is a quadratic equation whose roots are $$\alpha$$^1/5 and $$\beta$$^1/5, then the value of c $$-$$ b is equal to :
