Question

Solve the following equations:
`sin theta + sqrt(3) cos theta` = 1

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

Divide each term by 2

`1/2 sin theta + sqrt(3)/2 cos theta = 1/2`

`sin  pi/6 * sin theta + cos  pi/6 * cos theta = 1/2`

`cos theta * cos  pi/6 + sin theta * sin  pi/6 = 1/2`

`cos (theta - pi/6) = cos (pi/3)`

The general solution is

`theta - pi/6 = 2"n"pi +- pi/3`, n ∈ Z

θ = `2"n"pi +-  pi/3 + pi/6`, n ∈ Z

θ = `2"n"pi + pi/6 +- pi/3`, n ∈ Z
