Find the exact solutions over the indicated intervals. a) 2 cos^2 theta + sin 2theta = 0, 0degree lessthanorequalto theta lessthanorequalto 360degree
Solution
2cos^2x + sin2x = 0
=> 2cos^2x + 2sinx.cosx = 0
=> cosx(cosx + sinx) = 0
=> cosx=0 or cosx=-sinx
=> cosx=0 or tanx=-1
=> x=(2n+1)/2 or x=n-/4
Between [0,360], x= 90°,135°,270°,315°.
