解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
用 de Moivre 定理展开四次方,再比较实部和虚部,分别得到 cos4θ 与 sin4θ。最后取二者之比,并把分子、分母同时除以 cos4θ,就能写成只含 tanθ 的形式。
答题过程

For compact notation, let
c=s=cosθ,sinθ.
By de Moivre’s theorem,
=(c+is)4cos4θ+isin4θ.
Expanding all five terms,
=(c+is)4c4+4ic3s−6c2s2−4ics3+s4.
Comparing real and imaginary parts,
cos4θ=sin4θ=c4−6c2s2+s4,4c3s−4cs3.
Therefore,
==tan4θcos4θsin4θc4−6c2s2+s44c3s−4cs3.
Divide numerator and denominator by c4. Since cs=tanθ, this gives
=tan4θ1−6tan2θ+tan4θ4tanθ−4tan3θ.
This is the required identity.

思路
展开
也可以同时展开 z4 与 z−4。两式相加时虚部抵消,相减时实部抵消,因而分别得到 cos4θ 与 sin4θ。最后同样取比值,并把分子、分母除以 cos4θ。

Let
c=s=z=cosθ,sinθ,c+is.
Since c2+s2=1,
z−1=c−is.
By de Moivre’s theorem,
==z4cos4θ+isin4θ,z−4cos4θ−isin4θ.
Hence
z4+z−4=z4−z−4=2cos4θ,2isin4θ.
Expanding both fourth powers completely,
z4==(c+is)4c4+4ic3s−6c2s2−4ics3+s4
and
z−4==(c−is)4c4−4ic3s−6c2s2+4ics3+s4.
Adding gives
=2cos4θ2c4−12c2s2+2s4,
so
cos4θ=c4−6c2s2+s4.
Subtracting gives
=2isin4θ8ic3s−8ics3,
so
sin4θ=4c3s−4cs3.
Therefore,
=tan4θc4−6c2s2+s44c3s−4cs3.
Dividing numerator and denominator by c4 and using cs=tanθ,
=tan4θ1−6tan2θ+tan4θ4tanθ−4tan3θ.
This is the required identity.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
令 x=tanθ,把四次方程重排后,分母恰好成为 2x−2x3,因此由 (a) 得到 tan4θ=2。题目只要正根,可取第一象限的 θ,求出对应的两个角,再还原成 x。
答题过程

For positive x, let x=tanθ with 0<θ<2π.
The given equation is
=x4+2x3−6x2−2x+10.
Rearranging,
1−6x2+x4=2x−2x3.
Using part (a),
tan4θ===1−6x2+x44x−4x32x−2x34x−4x32.
Thus
4θ=arctan2+kπ.
Since 0<4θ<2π, the two suitable values are
θ=or θ=41arctan241(arctan2+π).
Hence the positive roots are
x=tan(4arctan2).
or
x=tan(4arctan2+π).
Therefore, to 3 significant figures,
x=0.284,1.79.
