Solve the following equations :
Ideas required to solve the problem:
The general solution of any trigonometric equation is given as –
• sin x = sin y, implies x = nπ + (– 1)ny, where n ∈ Z.
• cos x = cos y, implies x = 2nπ ± y, where n ∈ Z.
• tan x = tan y, implies x = nπ + y, where n ∈ Z.
given,
In all such problems we try to reduce the equation in an equation involving single trigonometric expression.
∴
⇒ { ∵
}
⇒ { ∵ cos A cos B + sin A sin B = cos (A - B)}
⇒
If cos x = cos y, implies x = 2nπ ± y, where n ∈ Z
∴
∴
