5sin22θ+14sin2θ−3=0
的形式。
(c) 由此在 0<x<90∘ 内解方程

答案精确到小数点后 1 位。
解答
(a)
Use
sin2θ=21−cos2θ
and
4sinθcosθ=2sin2θ
Then
6sin2θcot2θ+4sinθcosθ=6(21−cos2θ)cot2θ+2sin2θ=3(1−cos2θ)cot2θ+2sin2θ
Since
cot2θ=sin2θcos2θ
we get
6sin2θcot2θ+4sinθcosθ=sin2θ3(1−cos2θ)cos2θ+2sin2θ
Equivalently,
6sin2θcot2θ+4sinθcosθ=sin2θ(3−3cos2θ)cos2θ+2sin2θ
This is in terms of sin2θ and cos2θ only.
(b)
From part (a), the equation becomes
3cot2θ−14=sin2θ(3−3cos2θ)cos2θ+2sin2θ
Write the left side using cot2θ=sin2θcos2θ:
sin2θ3cos2θ−14=sin2θ(3−3cos2θ)cos2θ+2sin2θ
Multiply by sin2θ:
3cos2θ−14sin2θ=(3−3cos2θ)cos2θ+2sin22θ
Expand the right side:
3cos2θ−14sin2θ=3cos2θ−3cos22θ+2sin22θ
Cancel 3cos2θ from both sides:
−14sin2θ=−3cos22θ+2sin22θ
Use
cos22θ=1−sin22θ
Then
−14sin2θ=−3(1−sin22θ)+2sin22θ=−3+5sin22θ
Hence
5sin22θ+14sin2θ−3=0
as required.
(c)
Using part (b), solve
5sin22x+14sin2x−3=0
Let
u=sin2x
Then
5u2+14u−3=0
Factorise:
5u2+14u−3=(5u−1)(u+3)
So
u=51oru=−3
Since u=sin2x, we must have −1≤u≤1, so u=−3 is impossible.
Therefore
sin2x=51
Given
0<x<90∘
we have
0<2x<180∘
In this interval, sin2x=51 has two solutions:
2x=sin−1(51)
or
2x=180∘−sin−1(51)
So
x=5.768…∘
or
x=84.231…∘
Therefore, to one decimal place,
x=5.8∘, 84.2∘
