Trigonometric Equations Question 347

Question: If $ \frac{1-\cos 2\theta }{1+\cos 2\theta }=3 $ , then the general value of $ \theta $ is

Options:

A) $ 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6} $

B) $ n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6} $

C) $ 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3} $

D) $ n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ \frac{1-\cos 2\theta }{1+\cos 2\theta }=3 $ Þ $ \frac{1-(1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{1+(2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1)}=3 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ {{\tan }^{2}}\theta =3 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \theta =n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3} $ .
