Answer

θ≈53.13∘,233.13∘\theta \approx 53.13^{\circ}, 233.13^{\circ}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Use the identity proven in part (i) to simplify the given equation.

    From part (i), we know that 1+cos⁡θ1−cos⁡θ−1−cos⁡θ1+cos⁡θ≡4sin⁡θtan⁡θ\frac{1+\cos\theta}{1-\cos\theta} - \frac{1-\cos\theta}{1+\cos\theta} \equiv \frac{4}{\sin\theta \tan\theta}.
    Substitute this into the equation from part (ii):

    sin⁡θ(4sin⁡θtan⁡θ)=3\sin\theta \left(\frac{4}{\sin\theta \tan\theta}\right) = 3
  2. Simplify the equation.

    4tan⁡θ=3\frac{4}{\tan\theta} = 3 tan⁡θ=43\tan\theta = \frac{4}{3}
  3. Find the principal value of θ\theta.

    θ=arctan⁡(43)\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) θ≈53.1301∘\theta \approx 53.1301^{\circ}
  4. Find all solutions for θ\theta in the range 0∘<θ<360∘0^{\circ} < \theta < 360^{\circ}.

    Since tan⁡θ\tan\theta is positive, θ\theta lies in the first and third quadrants.
    The first quadrant solution is:

    θ1≈53.13∘\theta_1 \approx 53.13^{\circ}

    The third quadrant solution is:

    θ2=180∘+θ1\theta_2 = 180^{\circ} + \theta_1 θ2=180∘+53.13∘\theta_2 = 180^{\circ} + 53.13^{\circ} θ2=233.13∘\theta_2 = 233.13^{\circ}

    The solutions are θ≈53.13∘\theta \approx 53.13^{\circ} and θ≈233.13∘\theta \approx 233.13^{\circ}.

    The final answer is θ≈53.13∘,233.13∘\theta \approx 53.13^{\circ}, 233.13^{\circ}.
