The equations involving trigonometric function of unknown angles are known

DEFINITION as Trigonometric equations.


A solution of a trigonometric equation is the value of the unknown angle
that satisfies the equation.
A function f(x) is said to be periodic if there exists T > 0 such that
f(x + T) = f(x) for all x in the domain of definitions of f(x). If T is the
smallest positive real number such that f(x + T) = f(x) , then it is called the
fundamental period (or) period of f(x)

TRIGONOMETRICAL EQUATIONS WITH THEIR GENERAL SOLUTION
Trigonometrical equation General solution
If sin  = 0 then  = n : nI
If cos  = 0 then  = ( n +  / 2 ) = (2n+1)  / 2 : n  I
If tan  = 0 then  = n : n  I
If sin  = 1 then  = 2n  +  / 2 = (4n+1)  / 2 : n  I
If cos  = 1 then  = 2n  : n  I
If sin  = sin  then  = n  + (–1)n  where   [–  / 2 ,  / 2 ] : n  I
If cos  = cos  then  = 2n    where   ( 0,  ] : n  I
If tan  = tan  then  = n  +  where   (–  / 2 ,  / 2 ]: n  I
If sin2  = sin2  then  = n    : nI
If cos2  = cos2  then  = n    : nI
If tan2  = tan2  then  = n    : nI
sin   sin 
If cos   cos  * then  = 2 n  +  : nI
sin   sin 
If * then  = 2n  +  : n  I
tan   tan 
tan   tan 
If * then  = 2n  +  : nI
cos   cos 

If | c | > a2  b2 , then the equation ;


a cos  + b sin  = c has no solution

If |c|  a2  b2 , then take ;


|c|

cos (   ) = cos 

       2n      2n    

Two equations are given and we have to find the values of variable  which
may satisfy both the given equations, like

CASE OF TWO
EQUATIONS ARE so the common solution is  = 2n  +  , n  I
GIVEN Similarly, sin  = sin  and tan  = tan 
so the common solution is ,  = 2 n +  , n  I

Rule : Find the common values of  between 0 and 2 and then add 2 n to this
common value
