Expanding gives cos2θ+2sinθcosθ+sin2θ=1. Thus 2sinθcosθ=0. In [0,π], the zeros of sine are 0,π, and the zero of cosine is π/2. These are the three solutions.

At θ=0 and θ=π/2, the sum cosθ+sinθ is 1. At θ=π it is −1. Since any solution of the unsquared equation solves its square, the only solutions are 0 and π/2.

Where both denominators are nonzero, the left side has denominator cos2θ−sin2θ. Its numerator is
===sinθ(cosθ−sinθ)+(1−cosθ)(cosθ+sinθ)sinθcosθ−sin2θ+cosθ+sinθ−cos2θ−sinθcosθcosθ+sinθ−sin2θ−cos2θcosθ+sinθ−1.
Since the denominator is 1−2sin2θ, the identity follows.

用 (b) 化简左边,但不要直接约掉 cosθ+sinθ−1。这个因子为零的情形就是 (a)(ii)。
答题过程
展开
By (b) the equation becomes
(cosθ+sinθ−1)(1−2sin2θ1−2)=0.
The first factor is zero at 0 and π/2 by (a)(ii). The second is zero when 1−2sin2θ=1/2, so sin2θ=1/4. Sine is nonnegative on [0,π], giving π/6 and 5π/6. None of the four angles makes either original denominator zero. The solutions are 0, π/6, π/2 and 5π/6.
