解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
展开 sin(θ−30∘),代入 30∘ 的准确三角函数值,再除以 cosθ 化为关于 tanθ 的方程。
答题过程
展开
Starting with
2sin(θ−30∘)=5cosθ,
use the compound-angle formula:
2(sinθcos30∘−cosθsin30∘)=5cosθ.
Since
cos30∘=23andsin30∘=21,
we obtain
3sinθ−cosθ=5cosθ.
Therefore
3sinθ=6cosθ.
If cosθ=0, this equation would also give sinθ=0, which is impossible. Hence cosθ=0.
Dividing by cosθ gives
3tanθ=6,
and hence
tanθ=23,
as required.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
令 θ=x+20∘,原方程便完全变成 (a) 的形式。然后使用 (a) 的结论,并把角度换回 x。
答题过程
展开
Let
θ=x+20∘.
Then
x−10∘=θ−30∘,
so the equation becomes
2sin(θ−30∘)=5cosθ.
Hence, from part (a),
tanθ=23.
Since 0≤x≤360∘, we have
20∘≤θ≤380∘.
Therefore
θ=73.897…∘orθ=253.897…∘.
As x=θ−20∘,
x=53.897…∘orx=233.897…∘.
Thus, to one decimal place,
x=53.9∘, 233.9∘.

思路

官方评分资料也允许不使用 (a):直接展开原方程两边的复合角,把 sinx 项与 cosx 项分别收集,再求 tanx。
答题过程
展开
Expand both sides of
2sin(x−10∘)=5cos(x+20∘):
2sinxcos10∘−2cosxsin10∘=5cosxcos20∘−5sinxsin20∘.
Collecting the sinx and cosx terms gives
=(2cos10∘+5sin20∘)sinx(5cos20∘+2sin10∘)cosx.
The coefficient on the left is non-zero, and this equation has no solution with cosx=0. Therefore
tanx=2cos10∘+5sin20∘5cos20∘+2sin10∘.
For 0≤x≤360∘,
x=53.897…∘orx=233.897…∘.
Hence, to one decimal place,
x=53.9∘, 233.9∘.
