Find the general solution of 3 sin 4 θ + cos 4 θ = 1
Options
- An π only
- Bn π + π 4 only
- Cn π - π 4 only
- Dn π ,   n π + π 4 and n π - π 4
Correct answer
D. n π ,   n π + π 4 and n π - π 4
Step-by-step solution
3 sin 4 θ + cos 4 θ = 1 ⇒ 3 sin 4 θ = ( 1 - cos 2 θ ) ( 1 + cos 2 θ ) ⇒ 3 sin 4 θ = sin 2 θ · 2 - sin 2 θ sin 2 θ = 0 ,   3 sin 2 θ = 2 - sin 2 θ ⇒ sin 2 θ = 1 2 θ = n π ,   n ∈ z ⇒ θ = n π ± π 4 ,   m ∈ z
