解法一
思路
展开
首先,将方程式左边展开:
3cos2θ−tanθcosθ=2
利用正切函数的定义式将 tanθ 转化为正弦和余弦:
tanθ=tanθcosθ=cosθsinθcosθsinθcosθ=sinθ
代回原式可得:
3cos2θ−sinθ=2
由于最终方程只包含正弦函数 sinθ,我们使用毕达哥拉斯三角恒等式(Pythagorean identity)cos2θ=1−sin2θ 进行代换:
3(1−sin2θ)−sinθ=2
展开整理:
3−3sin2θ−sinθ=3sin2θ+sinθ−1=20
即可得到要证明的式子。

Expand the left-hand side of the given equation:
3cos2θ−tanθcosθ=2
Using the identity tanθ=cosθsinθ (for cosθ=0):
3cos2θ−(cosθsinθ)cosθ=3cos2θ−sinθ=22
Using the Pythagorean identity cos2θ=1−sin2θ:
3(1−sin2θ)−sinθ=3−3sin2θ−sinθ=−3sin2θ−sinθ+1=220
Multiplying the entire equation by −1:
3sin2θ+sinθ−1=0(proven)

思路

由 (a) 将 θ 换成 2x,方程变成 3sin22x+sin2x−1=0。用求根公式得到
sin2x=6−1±13.
因为 −π/2⩽x⩽π/2,求角时须使用 −π⩽2x⩽π。
正根的反正弦主值为 α=0.449214996…,范围内另一角为 π−α。负根的主值为 β=−0.875075474…,范围内另一角为 −π−β。将四个角都除以 2,才得到 x。
计算中使用精确根及未舍入的角度,最后把 x 舍入到三位有效数字。

Let θ=2x. From the conclusion in part (a), the equation can be rewritten as:
3sin22x+sin2x−1=0
Given the range for x is −2π⩽x⩽2π, the range for 2x is:
−π⩽2x⩽π
Solve the quadratic equation in sin2x using the quadratic formula:
sin2x==2(3)−1±12−4(3)(−1)6−1±13
This gives two possible values for sin2x:
- sin2x=6−1+13≈0.43426
- sin2x=6−1−13≈−0.76759
We find the solutions for 2x within the interval [−π,π]:
Case 1: When sin2x≈0.43426 (positive root)
The principal value is:
2x=arcsin(6−1+13)≈0.449214996 rad
The other solution in the range [−π,π] is:
2x=π−0.449214996≈2.692377657 rad
Dividing by 2 to find x:
x=x=20.449214996≈0.225 rad22.692377657≈1.35 rad
Case 2: When sin2x≈−0.76759 (negative root)
The principal value is:
2x=arcsin(6−1−13)≈−0.875075474 rad
The other solution in the range [−π,π] is:
2x=−π−(−0.875075474)≈−2.266517178 rad
Dividing by 2 to find x:
x=x=2−0.875075474≈−0.438 rad2−2.266517178≈−1.13 rad
Final Solutions
The values of x (rounded to 3 significant figures) are:
x≈−1.13 rad,−0.438 rad,0.225 rad,1.35 rad
