The set of solutions of the equation ( 3 -1) θ+( 3 +1) θ=2 is

The set of solutions of the equation (3−1)sin⁡θ+(3+1)cos⁡θ=2(\sqrt{3}-1) \sin \theta+(\sqrt{3}+1) \cos \theta=2 is

Options

  1. A\left\{2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
  2. B\left\{2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
  3. C\left\{n \pi+(-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
  4. D\left\{n \pi+(-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}

Correct answer

A. \left\{2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}

Step-by-step solution

(3−1)sin⁡θ+(3+1)cos⁡θ=23−12sin⁡θ+3+12cos⁡θ=1(\sqrt{3}-1) \sin \theta+(\sqrt{3}+1) \cos \theta=2\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2} \sin \theta+\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2} \cos \theta=1 ...(i) Comparing with asin⁡θ+bcos⁡θ=1a \sin \theta+b \cos \theta=1. ie, a=3−12,b=3+12a2+b2=(3−1)24+(3+1)24=123+1−23+3+1+23=128=12⋅22=2\quad a=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}, b=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=\sqrt{\frac{(\sqrt{3}-1)^2}{4}+\frac{(\sqrt{3}+1)^2}{4}}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3+1-2 \sqrt{3}+3+1+2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{8}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2} Dividing on both sides by 2\sqrt{2} in Eq. (i), we get \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right) \sin \theta+\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right) \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}LetLet\quad \sin \alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}Then,Then,\cos \alpha=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right)^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac{(4-2 \sqrt{3})}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{8-4+2 \sqrt{3}}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{4+2 \sqrt{3}}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{(\sqrt{3}+1)^2}{8}}= (3+122)So,\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right) So,\quad \sin \alpha \cdot \sin \theta+\cos \alpha \cdot \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos (\theta-\alpha)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}\theta-\alpha=2nπ±2 n \pi \pm\frac{\pi}{4}, \theta=2nπ±2 n \pi \pm\frac{\pi}{4}+\alpha\ldots (ii) ∵cos⁡\because \quad \cos15=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2 \sqrt{2}} ie, cos⁡α=cos⁡15∘=cos⁡\quad \cos \alpha=\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{\pi}{12}\Rightarrow \quad \alpha=\frac{\pi}{12} From Eq. (ii), \left[\theta=2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right] .n \in Z
