已知 cos2θ−sin3θ=0。
(a) 证明
cos2θ−sin3θcos2θ≡1−2sinθ−4sin2θ1+sinθ
(b) 由此在 0<θ≤360∘ 内解方程
cos2θ−sin3θcos2θ=2cosecθ
答案精确到小数点后 1 位。
解答
(a)
Start with
cos2θ−sin3θcos2θ
Using
sin3θ=sin2θcosθ+cos2θsinθ
we get
cos2θ−sin3θcos2θ=cos2θ−sin2θcosθ−cos2θsinθcos2θ
Now use
cos2θ=1−2sin2θ
and
sin2θ=2sinθcosθ
Then the denominator becomes
1−2sin2θ−2sinθcos2θ−sinθ(1−2sin2θ)
Use
cos2θ=1−sin2θ
So the denominator is
1−2sin2θ−2sinθ(1−sin2θ)−sinθ(1−2sin2θ)=1−2sin2θ−2sinθ+2sin3θ−sinθ+2sin3θ=1−3sinθ−2sin2θ+4sin3θ
Factorise this:
1−3sinθ−2sin2θ+4sin3θ=(1−sinθ)(1−2sinθ−4sin2θ)
Also,
cos2θ=1−sin2θ=(1−sinθ)(1+sinθ)
Therefore
cos2θ−sin3θcos2θ=(1−sinθ)(1−2sinθ−4sin2θ)(1−sinθ)(1+sinθ)
Cancel the common factor:
cos2θ−sin3θcos2θ≡1−2sinθ−4sin2θ1+sinθ
as required.
(b)
Using part (a), the equation becomes
1−2sinθ−4sin2θ1+sinθ=2cosecθ
Since
cosecθ=sinθ1
we have
1−2sinθ−4sin2θ1+sinθ=sinθ2
Cross multiply:
sinθ(1+sinθ)=2(1−2sinθ−4sin2θ)
Expand:
sinθ+sin2θ=2−4sinθ−8sin2θ
Bring all terms to one side:
9sin2θ+5sinθ−2=0
Using the quadratic formula,
sinθ=2(9)−5±52−4(9)(−2)
So
sinθ=18−5±97
Thus
sinθ=0.2693…
or
sinθ=−0.8249…
For
0<θ≤360∘
the solutions are
θ=15.6∘, 164.4∘, 235.6∘, 304.4∘
Therefore
θ=15.6∘, 164.4∘, 235.6∘, 304.4∘
