Trigonometric Equations Question 281

Question: If $ 5{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +7{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -6=0 $ , then the general value of $ \theta $ is

Options:

A) $ 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4} $

B) $ n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4} $

C) $ n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • $ 5-5{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +7{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =6 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =1 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ {{\sin }^{2}}\theta =\frac{1}{2}={{\sin }^{2}}( \frac{\pi }{4} )\Rightarrow \theta =n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4} $ .
