ĐKXĐ: \(cosx\ne0\Rightarrow x\ne\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi\)
\(\dfrac{1}{2}cos4x+\dfrac{4sinx}{cosx}.cos^2x=m\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{2}cos4x+2sin2x=m\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{2}\left(1-2sin^22x\right)+2sin2x=m\)
\(\Rightarrow-sin^22x+2sin2x+\dfrac{1}{2}=m\)
Đặt \(sin2x=t\in\left[-1;1\right]\Rightarrow-t^2+2t+\dfrac{1}{2}=m\)
Xét hàm \(f\left(t\right)=-t^2+2t+\dfrac{1}{2}\) trên \(\left[-1;1\right]\)
\(-\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\) ; \(f\left(-1\right)=-\dfrac{5}{2}\) ; \(f\left(1\right)=\dfrac{3}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow-\dfrac{5}{2}\le f\left(t\right)\le\dfrac{3}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) Phương trình đã cho vô nghiệm khi \(\left[{}\begin{matrix}m< -\dfrac{5}{2}\\m>\dfrac{3}{2}\end{matrix}\right.\)
