Trigonometric Equations Question 363

Question: If $ \tan \theta -\sqrt{2}\sec \theta =\sqrt{3} $ , then the general value of $ \theta $ is

Options:

A) $ n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4}-\frac{\pi }{3} $

B) $ n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{3}-\frac{\pi }{4} $

C) $ n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{3}+\frac{\pi }{4} $

D) $ n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4}+\frac{\pi }{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • $ \sin \theta +\cos \theta =\sqrt{2}\cos \alpha \Rightarrow \cos ( \theta -\frac{\pi }{4} )=\cos \alpha $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \theta -\frac{\pi }{4}=2n\pi \pm \alpha \Rightarrow \theta =2n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}\pm \alpha $ .
