原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

先通分,再用 1−cos2θ=sin2θ。把一份正弦与分母组成正切。

For cosθ=0,
cosθ1−cosθ===cosθ1−cos2θcosθsin2θtanθsinθ.
(b)
解法一
思路

用 (a) 改写左式。移项后提取正切因子,避免漏掉正切为零的角度。

By (a), 2tanθsinθ=tanθ, so
tanθ(2sinθ−1)=0.
In the stated interval, tanθ=0 at 0∘, 180∘ and 360∘. Also sinθ=1/2 at 30∘ and 150∘. All five angles have cosθ=0, so all satisfy the original equation.
