取五次方的虚部,再用 cos2θ=1−sin2θ 得到只含 sinθ 的多项式。取倒数后,将分子分母同除以 sin5θ。

Write c=cosθ and s=sinθ. De Moivre’s theorem gives (c+is)5=cos5θ+isin5θ. Expanding,
(c+is)5=c5+5c4(is)+10c3(is)2+10c2(is)3+5c(is)4+(is)5.
Taking imaginary parts,
sin5θ===5c4s−10c2s3+s55s(1−s2)2−10s3(1−s2)+s516s5−20s3+5s.
Taking the reciprocal where both cosecants are defined gives
csc5θ=16−20s−2+5s−4s−5=5csc4θ−20csc2θ+16csc5θ.

用 (a) 把方程化为 csc5θ=2。选择 −2π≤θ≤2π,避免同一个正弦值被重复使用。
答题过程

With x=cscθ, the equation becomes x5=2(5x4−20x2+16). The denominator 5x4−20x2+16 cannot vanish at a root, since the equation would then give x=0, whereas its denominator at 0 is 16. Using (a), this gives csc5θ=2 and hence sin5θ=21. Thus
5θ=6π+2kπor5θ=65π+2kπ,k∈Z.
On [−2π,2π], the five solutions give
x1=x3=x5=csc(−3011π),x2=csc(−307π),csc30π,x4=csc6π,csc3013π.
The five values are distinct, because sine is strictly increasing on the chosen interval and none of these sines is zero. They account for all roots of the degree-five polynomial.
