Solve the following equations for \(\theta \), in the the interval \(0<\theta \) (< or equals to 360). (Tbh i dont really know hot to insert the smaller sign with another line underneath it, hope u understood the the range correctly).

 

a) \(sin\theta + cos\theta =0\)

 

b) \(3 cos\theta = -2\)

 

c)\((sin \theta -1)(5 cos \theta +3)=0\)

 

d) \(tan\theta = tan\theta(2+3 sin \theta )\)

Solve the following equations for  θ , in the the interval  0 < θ ≤  360° .

 

 

a)   sin θ + cos θ   =   0

                                                     Factor  cos θ  out of the terms on left side

(cos θ)( sin θ / cos θ + 1)   =   0

                                                     We can divide both sides by  cos θ  since  cos θ  can't be zero.

sin θ / cos θ  +  1   =   0

 

tan θ  +  1   =   0

 

tan θ   =   -1

 

And this occurs at     θ  =  135º     and     θ  =  315°

 

 

b)   3 cos θ   =   -2

                                    Divide both sides by  3 .

cos θ   =   -2/3

                                    Take the inverse cosine of both sides of the equation.

θ   =   arccos( -2/3 )

                                    By putting this into a calculator, I get

θ   ≈   131.81°

 

And we know that the cosine is also negative in the third quadrant, so..

 

θ   ≈   360° - 131.81°   ≈   228.19°     also has a cosine of  -2/3 .

 

 

c)   (sin θ - 1)(5 cos θ + 3)   =   0

 

Here, we need to set each factor equal to zero and solve each for  θ  .

 

First factor:

sin θ - 1   =   0

sin θ   =   1         There is only one angle that has a sin of 1 .

θ   =   90°

 

Second factor:

5 cos θ + 3   =   0

5 cos θ   =   -3

cos θ   =   -3/5

θ   ≈   126.87°          and          θ   ≈   360° - 126.87°   ≈   233.13°

 

 

d)   tan θ   =   tan θ ( 2 + 3 sin θ )

                                                             Subtract  tan θ  from both sides.

0   =   tan θ ( 2 + 3 sin θ )  -  tan θ

                                                             Factor  tan θ  out of the terms on the right side.

0  =  (tan θ)( (2 + 3 sin θ)  -  1 )

 

0  =  (tan θ)( 1 + 3 sin θ)

                                                      Set each factor equal to zero and solve for  θ .

tan θ   =   0    This occurs at..

θ   =   180°     and     θ   =   360°

 

1 + 3 sin θ   =   0

3 sin θ   =   -1

sin θ   =   -1/3

θ   ≈   -19.47° + 360°   ≈   340.53°          and          θ   ≈   180° - -19.47°   ≈   199.47°

If you're using a mac, you can do alt+< or > to get ≤ or ≥

a)  sin θ + cos θ   =   0          square both sides

 

sin^2 θ  +  2sin θ  cos θ   +  cos^2 θ  =    0

 

1  +  2sinθcosθ   =  0

 

2sinθcosθ    =   - 1

 

sin(2θ)  =  -1

 

let 2θ  = x

 

So

 

sin x  =  - 1        and this occurs at  x =  270°  and at  x  = 630°

 

So

 

2θ  =  270°            and       2θ  =    630°

 

So

 

θ  =  135°        and   θ  =   315°

 

 

 

cool cool cool
