Let `alpha,betaa n dgamma` satisfy `0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`cos(x+alpha)+cos(x+beta)+cos(x+gamma) = 0`
`=>cosx(cosalpha+cosbeta+cosgamma) - sinx(sinalpha+sinbeta+singamma) = 0`
Solution of the above equatio is possible only if,
`cosalpha+cosbeta+cosgamma = sinalpha+sinbeta+singamma =0`
`=>cosalpha+cosgamma = - cosbeta->(1)`
`=>sinalpha+singamma = -sinbeta->(2)`
Squaring and adding (1) and (2),
`=>cos^2alpha+cos^2gamma+2cosalphacosgamma+sin^2alpha+sin^2gamma+2sinalphasingamma = cos^2beta+sin^2beta`
