Trigonometric Equations Question 51

Question: If , where $ 0<\theta <180^{o} $ , then $ \theta $ =

Options:

A) $ 30^{o},45^{o} $

B) $ 45^{o},90^{o} $

C) $ 135^{o},150^{o} $

D) $ 30^{o},45^{o},90^{o},135^{o},150^{o} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ \cos 6\theta +\cos 4\theta +\cos 2\theta +1=0 $ $ x=\frac{37\pi }{24} $ $ 2{{\cos }^{2}}3\theta +2\cos 3\theta ,.,\cos \theta =0 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 4\cos 3\theta \cos 2\theta \cos \theta =0 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 3\theta =(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2};2\theta =(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\text{ and }\theta =(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \theta =30^{o},,90^{o},,150^{o},,45^{o},,135^{o} $ .
