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。

Within the stated interval, the original equation is undefined only at . At , it gives , so this is not a solution.
For the remaining possible angles, put . Using the addition formula,
Here . Multiplying through,
Thus
The positive root gives a first-quadrant solution,
The negative root gives a second-quadrant solution,
Both are in the domain of the original equation. Hence
