Problem
In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
(a) Show that the equation
(3cosθ−tanθ)cosθ=2
can be written as
3sin2θ+sinθ−1=0
(3)
(b) Hence solve for −2π⩽x⩽2π
(3cos2x−tan2x)cos2x=2
(5)
解答
(a)
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=cosθsinθ⟹tanθcosθ=cosθsinθcosθ=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=2⟹3sin2θ+sinθ−1=0
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

根据 (a) 部分的代数化简结论,对于方程:
(3cos2x−tan2x)cos2x=2
我们可以直接将自变量 θ 替换为 2x。因此,此方程可以等价写为关于 sin2x 的二次方程:
3sin22x+sin2x−1=0
设 y=sin2x,则方程为 3y2+y−1=0。
-
第一步:求解二次方程
由于无法直接因式分解,我们使用求根公式(quadratic formula):
sin2x=2(3)−1±12−4(3)(−1)=6−1±13
计算其近似小数值:
- sin2x=6−1+13≈0.43426
- sin2x=6−1−13≈−0.76759
-
第二步:确定求和区间的自变量范围
题目限制 x 范围为 −2π⩽x⩽2π。
因为自变量是 2x,对应范围应乘以 2:
−π⩽2x⩽π
-
第三步:求解 2x 并求出 x
我们需要在区间 [−π,π] 中找出正弦值等于上述两个根的所有解,然后再除以 2 得到 x 的取值。
结合以上,本题共有 4 个满足区间的实数解。

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(0.43426...)≈0.44924 rad
The other solution in the range [−π,π] is:
2x=π−0.44924≈2.69235 rad
Dividing by 2 to find x:
x=x=20.44924≈0.225 rad22.69235≈1.35 rad
Case 2: When sin2x≈−0.76759 (negative root)
The principal value is:
2x=arcsin(−0.76759...)≈−0.87524 rad
The other solution in the range [−π,π] is:
2x=−π−(−0.87524)≈−2.26635 rad
Dividing by 2 to find x:
x=x=2−0.87524≈−0.438 rad2−2.26635≈−1.13 rad
Final Solutions
The values of x (rounded to 3 significant figures or 2 decimal places where appropriate) are:
x≈−1.13 rad,−0.438 rad,0.225 rad,1.35 rad
