本题中你必须写出解题过程的所有步骤。
不接受完全依赖计算器技术的解法。
(a) 证明方程
2sinθ(3cot22θ−7)=13secθ
可写成
3cosec22θ−13cosec2θ−10=0
的形式。
(b) 由此在 0<θ<2π 内解方程
2sinθ(3cot22θ−7)=13secθ
答案保留 3 位有效数字。
解答
(a)
Start with
2sinθ(3cot22θ−7)=13secθ
Divide both sides by 2sinθ:
3cot22θ−7=2sinθ13secθ
Since
secθ=cosθ1
the right hand side becomes
2sinθcosθ13
Using
sin2θ=2sinθcosθ
we get
3cot22θ−7=13cosec2θ
Now use
cot22θ=cosec22θ−1
So
3(cosec22θ−1)−7=13cosec2θ
Expand:
3cosec22θ−3−7=13cosec2θ
Thus
3cosec22θ−10=13cosec2θ
Therefore
3cosec22θ−13cosec2θ−10=0
as required.
(b)
From part (a),
3cosec22θ−13cosec2θ−10=0
Let
u=cosec2θ
Then
3u2−13u−10=0
Factorise:
(3u+2)(u−5)=0
So
u=−32
or
u=5
Since ∣cosec2θ∣≥1, reject
u=−32
Thus
cosec2θ=5
and hence
sin2θ=51
For
0<θ<2π
we have
0<2θ<π
So
2θ=sin−151
or
2θ=π−sin−151
Therefore
θ=21sin−151
or
θ=21(π−sin−151)
Hence
θ=0.1006…, 1.470…
So, to 3 significant figures,
θ=0.101, 1.47
