The number of solutions of the equation $$4\sin^2 x - 4\cos^3 x + 9 - 4\cos x = 0$$; $$x \in [-2\pi, 2\pi]$$ is:
We need to find the number of solutions of $$4\sin^2 x - 4\cos^3 x + 9 - 4\cos x = 0$$ in $$[-2\pi, 2\pi]$$.
$$4(1 - \cos^2 x) - 4\cos^3 x + 9 - 4\cos x = 0$$
$$4 - 4\cos^2 x - 4\cos^3 x + 9 - 4\cos x = 0$$
$$-4\cos^3 x - 4\cos^2 x - 4\cos x + 13 = 0$$
$$4\cos^3 x + 4\cos^2 x + 4\cos x - 13 = 0$$
$$4\cos^3 x + 4\cos^2 x + 4\cos x = 13 $$
We know that, $$\cos x \leq 1$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$4\cos^3 x \leq 4$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$4\cos^2 x \leq 4$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$4\cos x \leq 4$$
$$\therefore$$ $$4\cos^3 x + 4\cos^2 x + 4\cos x \leq 12$$
Thus, the maximum value of LHS can be $$12$$, and RHS = $$13$$
Thus, there is no solution for the equation between $$x \in [-2\pi, 2\pi]$$
Hence, option D is the correct choice.
