Solution set on (0,pi) => (.333, 0) and (1.238,0)

Explanation:

Given: co2theta = tan2theta " " theta: theta in 0"<"theta"<"pi

Required: The solution to =>r(theta)=co2theta - tan2theta
over theta: theta in(0, pi )

Solution Strategy:
a) Use trigonometric identity - tan2theta= (sin2theta)/(cos2theta)
b) Solve the rational function resulting from a) by any means necessary...

a) Substituting tantheta= sintheta/costheta we write:
cos2theta = (sin2theta)/(cos2theta)
cos^(2)2theta = sin2theta now this leads to
1) r(theta)=cos^(2)2theta -sin2theta=0 find the roots
substitute sin2theta = sqrt[1-cos^(2)2theta]
2) r(theta)= cos^(2)2theta - sqrt[1-cos^(2)2theta]

b) Solve 1) form directly or 2) form indirectly
I have chosen to so solve form 1) graphically see below:
Over theta:theta (0,pi) we have 2 solutions
theta_1 ~~ .333 and theta_2~~1.238

You also cam graph, #r(theta)=cos^(2)2theta -sin2theta and locate the zeros, x intercept...

Get the same answer (.333, 0) and (1.238,0)

Good luck!

19^@09 and 70^@92

Explanation:

cos 2t = (sin 2t)/(cos 2t)
Cross multiply -->
cos^2 2t - sin 2t = 0
(1 - sin^2 2t) - sin 2t = 0. --> Trig identity: cos^2a + sin^2 a = 1
- sin^2 2t - sin 2t + 1 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for sin 2t.
D = d^2 = b^2 - 4ac = 1 + 4 = 5 --> d = +- sqrt5
There are 2 real roots:
sin 2t = -b/(2a) +- d/(2a) = - 1/2 +- sqrt5/2 = -(1/2)((1 +- sqrt5)
a. sin 2t = -(1 + sqrt5)/2 = - 3.23/2 = - 1.62 (Rejected since < -1)
b. sin 2t = - (1 - sqrt5)/2 = 0.62
sin 2t = 0.62. Calculator gives -->2t = 38.17^@ --> t = 19^@09
Trig unit circle gives another arc 2t that has the same sin value
2t = 180 - 38.17 = 141^@83 --> x= 70^@92
Answer for (0, pi):
19^@09; 70^@92
