(a)
解法一
思路
展开
用 cot2θ=1/sin2θ−1 与二倍角公式,把方程统一写成 sin2θ 的式子,再清分母。
答题过程
展开
Where the original equation is defined, sinθ=0. Using
cot2θ=cos2θ=sin2θ1−1,1−2sin2θ,
the equation becomes
sin2θ1−1+2(1−2sin2θ)=4.
Thus
sin2θ1−3−4sin2θ=0.
Multiplying by sin2θ and rearranging gives
4sin4θ+3sin2θ−1=0.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
把(a)看成关于 sin2θ 的二次方程,排除不可能的负值,再找全四个象限中的角。

From part (a),
(4sin2θ−1)(sin2θ+1)=0.
The second factor is positive for every real θ, so
sin2θ=41,sinθ=±21.
In 0∘<θ<360∘, the solutions are
θ=30∘, 150∘, 210∘, 330∘.
All have sinθ=0, as required by the original equation.
