The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given information about triangle ABC, where BC = 1. We are also given the following: - \( \sin \frac{A}{2} = x_1 \) - \( \sin \frac{B}{2} = x_2 \) - \( \cos \frac{A}{2} = x_3 \) - \( \cos \frac{B}{2} = x_4 \) The equation we need to analyze is: \[ \left( \frac{x_1}{x_2} \right)^{2007} - \left( \frac{x_3}{x_4} \right)^{2006} = 0 \] ### Step 1: Analyze the given equation From the equation, we can rewrite it as: \[ \left( \frac{x_1}{x_2} \right)^{2007} = \left( \frac{x_3}{x_4} \right)^{2006} \] ### Step 2: Consider the implications of the equation Taking the 2007th root on both sides gives: \[ \frac{x_1}{x_2} = \left( \frac{x_3}{x_4} \right)^{\frac{2006}{2007}} \] ### Step 3: Use properties of sine and cosine Since \( \sin \frac{A}{2} \) and \( \sin \frac{B}{2} \) are positive in the interval \( (0, \frac{\pi}{2}) \), we know that: - \( \sin \frac{A}{2} \) increases as \( A \) increases. - \( \cos \frac{A}{2} \) decreases as \( A \) increases. ### Step 4: Analyze the cases 1. **Case 1**: If \( \frac{A}{2} < \frac{B}{2} \) (which implies \( A < B \)): - This leads to \( x_1 < x_2 \) (since sine is increasing). - Also, \( x_3 > x_4 \) (since cosine is decreasing). - This contradicts the equality derived from the equation. 2. **Case 2**: If \( \frac{A}{2} > \frac{B}{2} \) (which implies \( A > B \)): - This leads to \( x_1 > x_2 \). - Also, \( x_3 < x_4 \). - This again contradicts the equality derived from the equation. ### Step 5: Conclusion from cases The only way for the equation to hold true is if: \[ \frac{A}{2} = \frac{B}{2} \implies A = B \] This means triangle ABC is isosceles with \( AC = AB \). ### Step 6: Determine the length of AC Since \( BC = 1 \) and \( A = B \), by the properties of isosceles triangles, we can conclude that: - The sides opposite equal angles are equal. - Therefore, \( AC = AB \). Using the Law of Cosines or basic properties of isosceles triangles, we find that: \[ AC = 1 \] Thus, the length of AC is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
