![]() If x doesn't equal to 0, we divide x on both sides and we have: figure out the only situation to hold the equation true is that -1/sinm*cosm=2, that means (-1*2)/(sin2m)=2 and sin2m must be -1 to keep this true. Now it turns into a problem solving x: if x=0, it satisfies the equation and this means sinm=cosm these angles can be the bisector of the 1st (I) and 3rd(III) quadrant they can be pi/4 and 3pi/4 as you mentioned before and 2k*pi applied on them as well, under this condition, we choose 0 as the answer Let x = sinm - cosm, which is the value we try to find we have -x/(sinm*cosm)=2x Then move the terms and change it into: 1/sinm -1/cosm = 2(sinm - cosm) simplify this as: (cosm-sinm)/(sinm*cosm)=2(sinm-cosm) Then divide sinm on both sides (if sinm=0, the equation cannot be satisfied since left=0, right=0-1=-1, not equal to the left), then we have: 2cosm=1/cosm -1/sinm +2sinm Actually not just these two radians but a set of them are the solutions to the 1st equation Check this:įirst, I use m to represent theta, sqrt(2) as the square root of 2, for simplification: so we know sin(2m)=tan(m)-cos(2m) from the given facts, then we use the identities, we have left=sin(2m)=2*sinm*cosm=right=(sinm/cosm) - , If you try theta= pi/4 or negative pi/4 the first equation holds in both situations and you get choice A and C respectively. Thank you for this question, this is a great one I think.
