Suppose aa is a real number such that the equation a(sinx+sin(2x))=sin(3x)a\cdot(\sin{x}+\sin{(2x)}) = \sin{(3x)} has more than one solution in the interval (0,π)(0, \pi). The set of all such aa that can be written in the form (p,q)(q,r),(p,q) \cup (q,r), where p,q,p, q, and rr are real numbers with p<q<rp < q< r. What is p+q+rp+q+r?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Suppose a is a real number such that the equation a⋅(sinx+sin(2x))=sin(3x)
has more than one solution in the interval (0,π). The set of all such a that can be written
in the form (p,q)∪(q,r),
where p,q, and r are real numbers with p<q<r. What is p+q+r?
Original LaTeX notation
Suppose $a$ is a real number such that the equation \[a\cdot(\sin{x}+\sin{(2x)}) = \sin{(3x)}\]
has more than one solution in the interval $(0, \pi)$. The set of all such $a$ that can be written
in the form \[(p,q) \cup (q,r),\]
where $p, q,$ and $r$ are real numbers with $p < q< r$. What is $p+q+r$?
