Find the solution of the equation that are in the internal 0
Find the solution of the equation that are in the internal [0, 2pi). 2 cos^2 theta + cos theta = 0 If sin alpha = -4/5 and sec beta = 5/3 for a third-quadrant and alpha and first-quadrant angle beta, find sin(alpha + beta) tan(alpha + beta) the quadrant containing the angle alpha + beta
Solution
2cos2theta + cos theta=0
cos theta(2cos theta + 1)=0
cos theta=0 and 2cos theta+1=0
taking cos-1 on both sides
theta = cos-10 and theta= cos-1(-1/2)
theta= pi/2,3pi/2 and theta= 2pi/3, 4pi/3
theta=pi/2, 2pi/3,4pi/3,3pi/2
