Question 11.


What is the principal solution of sin x = cos x ?


  1.     x=π6
  2.     x=π4
  3.     x=π4
  4.     x=π2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> x=π4
:
C

sin x = cos x
tan x = 1
x = π4


Question 12.


Find the principal solution(s) of sec x sin2x=tan x


  1.     x=0
  2.     x=π4
  3.     x=π2
  4.     x=π
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> x=0
:
A

sec x sin2x=tan xsin xcos xsin x=tan xtan x sin x=tan xtan x=0 or sin x=1x=0 or x=π2
But sec x and tan x are not defined at x=π2
Therefore, x = 0 is the only solution.


Question 13.


Find the principal solution of 2cos2x3cos x2=0


  1.     x=π3
  2.     x=2π3
  3.     x=5π6
  4.     no solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> x=2π3
:
B

2cos2x3cos x2=0
Let cos x = t
2t23t2=0t=3±94×2×(2)2×2t=3±254t=2 or t=12
Since cos x cannot be 2, we have
cos x=12x=2π3 


Question 14.


Find the principal solution of 3sec2x=sec x


  1.     x=0
  2.     x=π6
  3.     x=π3
  4.     no solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> no solution
:
D

3sec2x=sec xsec x=0 or sec x=13But sec x0  x
The equation has no solutions.


Question 15.


Find the principal solutions of sin 2x + cos x = 0


  1.     x=π3x=π3
  2.     x=π6x=π2
  3.     x=π3
  4.     x=π2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> x=π6x=π2
:
B

sin 2x + cos x=0
2sin x cos x + cos x = 0
cos x(2sin x + 1) = 0
cos x = 0 or sin x = -12
x = π2 or x = -π6


Question 16.


Find the general solutions of sin 2x - sin 4x + sin 6x = 0.


  1.     x=nπ4
  2.     x=nπ2
  3.     x=nπ
  4.     x=nπ±π6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> x=nπ4
:
A and D

sin 2xsin 4x+sin 6x=0(sin 2x+sin 6x)sin 4x=02sin 4xcos 2xsin 4x=0sin 4x(2cos 2x1)=0sin 4x=0 or cos 2x=124x=nπ or 2x=2nπ±π3x=nπ4 or x=nπ±π6
