Solve a 2sin x cot xcsc x0 xe027 b cos91 2 O360 cos Find al
Solution
ans for (a) given 2sinx-cotx-cosecx =0
we know that cotx =cosx/sinx and cosecx =1/sinx
2sinx-cosx/sinx-1/sinx =0
taking sinx as common
(2sin^2x-cosx-1)/sinx =0
we can write sin^2x as 2cos^2x-1
(2(2cos^2x-1)-cosx-1) =0
-2cos^2x-cosx-1=0
let cosx=x
-2x^2-x-1 =0
(-2x+1)(x+1) =0
(-2cosx+1)(cosx+1) =0
cosx=1/2
now x=[/3,5/3]
if cosx =-1
x =
ans for (b)
we can solve this by using trigonometry identities
I am solving this problem by changing teta into \'t\'
given cos(t/2)-cos(t) =1
we know that cost =2cos^2(t/2) -1
now we get equation cos(t/2)-2cos^(t/2)+1 =1
cos(t/2) -2cos^(t/2) =0
take cos(t/2) as common
cos(t/2)(1-2cos^(t/2)) =0
Now by using trigonometric table of arcs and unit circle
there are two solutions
a.cos(t/2) =0
t/2 =/2 t =
t/2 =3/2 t =3 the value of 3pi is also equal to pi
b. cos(t/2) =1/2 t/2 =±/3
t/2 = /3 t = 2/3
t/2 =-/3 t =-2/3 or t/2 =5/3
t =10/3 =(4/3+2) =4/3
hence the values are ,2/3 ,4/3
Answer for part (b) a. given cos2x =1/2
we know that cos(/4) =1/2
cos2x =cos(/4)
2x = ±/4
x = ±/8
answer is x =/8 or x = -/8
Answer for part b (b) given sin2xcosx +cos2xsinx =1/2
we can solve this by using trigonometry formulas
(1) we know that sin(2x) =2sinxcosx and cos2x =2cos^2x-1
it is in the form of sinacosb +cosasinb =sin(a +b)
hera sina =sin2x and cosb =cosx
cosa =cos2x and sinb =sinx
sin2xcosx +cos2xsinx =sin(2x+x)
sin(3x) =1/2
sin(3x) =sin(300)
3x=300
we get x =10 degrees
and we also get
3x =1500
x=500
answers for (0,3600) is 100 ,500
