Trigonometric Equation 2

Trigonometric equations were presented involving compound angle, double angle, and factor formulae. Two example equations were given and solved: a) sin θ = 2 sin (600 - θ), which was solved to θ = 4000 54', 22000 54' b) 3 cos 2θ + cos θ = 2, which was solved to θ = 330033', 18000, 3260027' Another two example equations were given and solved for 00 < θ ≤ 1800: a) cos θ + cos 2θ + cos 3θ = 0, which was solved to θ = 450, 1200, 1350 b) 3(sin θ + sin 3θ) = 4 sin 2

Solve the following equations for 00 < θ < 3600.
a) sin θ = 2 sin ( 600 – θ )
b) 3 cos 2 θ + cos θ = 2

Solution:
a) Sin θ = 2 sin (6000 – θ)
Sin θ = 2 (sin 6000 cos θ – cos 6000 sin θ)
Sin θ = 2( cos θ – sin θ )
Sin θ = cos θ – sin θ
2 sin θ = cos θ
tan θ =
θ = 4000 54’ , 22000 54’
3 cos 2 θ + cos θ = 2
b) 3(2 cos2 θ – 1 ) + cos θ = 2
6 cos2 θ + cos θ -5 = 0
(6 cos θ – 5)cos θ + 1 ) = 0
5
cos θ = 6
θ = 330033’ , 3260027’
Or cos θ = -1
θ = 18000
θ = 330033’ , 18000 , 3260027’
solve the following equations for 00 < θ ≤ 1800
a) cos θ+cos 2 θ +cos 3 θ = 0
b) 3(sin θ+sin 3 θ) = 4 sin 2 θ
Solution
a) Cos θ + cos 2 θ + cos 3 θ = 0 b) 3(sin θ + sin 3 θ) = 4 sin 2 θ

3(2 sin 2θ cos θ) - 4 sin 2 θ = 0


(Cos θ + cos 2 θ + cos 3) + cos 2 θ = 0
2 sin 2 θ (3 cos θ - 2) = 0
2 cos 2 θ cos θ +cos 2 θ = 0
Sin 2 θ = 0
Cos 2 θ (2 cos θ +1) = 0
2 θ = 00, 1800, 3600
Cos 2 θ = 0
θ = 00, 900, 1800
2 θ = 900,2700
θ = 450, 1350 Or 3 cos θ - 2 = 0
cos θ = ⅔
Or 2cos θ + 1 = 0
θ = 48011’
cos θ = - ½
θ = 00, 48011’, 900, 1800 #
θ = 1200

θ = 450, 1200 , 1350 #


f(x) = 3 cos x + 4 sin x , x R. Find the maximum and the minimum value of the f.

solution
Refer to figure on right. Two sides of the right- angled
triangle have lengths 3 and 4, the coefficients of cos x
and sin x respectively in f(x), the hypotenuse then has
length 5.

5
f(x) = 3 3cos x + 4 4sin x 3
5 5
= 5 ( cos x + sin x ) 
4
= 5 (cos α cos θ + sin α sin θ)
= 5 cos (x - α)
Since -1≤ cos (x - α) ≤ 1, then -5 ≤ 5 cos (x - α) ≤ 5, i.e. -5 ≤ f(x) ≤ 5.
We see that the maximum and minimum values of f(x) are
f(α) = 5 and f (1800 + α) = -5 respectively.
