The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We are given that \( \sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} \) and that \( \theta \) is an acute angle. We also have the equation \( 3(x - y) = 1 \). ### Step 2: Draw a right triangle To visualize the problem, we can draw a right triangle where: - The angle \( \theta \) is one of the acute angles. - The side opposite to \( \theta \) (perpendicular) is 3. - The hypotenuse is 5. ### Step 3: Find the length of the base Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the base (adjacent side): \[ \text{Base}^2 + \text{Perpendicular}^2 = \text{Hypotenuse}^2 \] Let the base be \( b \): \[ b^2 + 3^2 = 5^2 \\ b^2 + 9 = 25 \\ b^2 = 16 \\ b = 4 \] So, the base (adjacent side) is 4. ### Step 4: Assign values to \( x \) and \( y \) We need to express \( x \) and \( y \) in terms of trigonometric functions. Since we have the values of the sides, we can use: - \( x = \csc \theta \) (which is \( \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{5}{3} \)) - \( y = \cot \theta \) (which is \( \frac{\text{base}}{\text{perpendicular}} = \frac{4}{3} \)) ### Step 5: Substitute \( x \) and \( y \) into the equation Now we substitute \( x \) and \( y \) into the equation \( 3(x - y) = 1 \): \[ 3\left(\csc \theta - \cot \theta\right) = 1 \] Substituting the values: \[ 3\left(\frac{5}{3} - \frac{4}{3}\right) = 1 \\ 3\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = 1 \\ 1 = 1 \] This confirms that our values for \( x \) and \( y \) satisfy the equation. ### Conclusion Thus, one set of solutions for \( x \) and \( y \) expressed in terms of \( \theta \) is: \[ x = \csc \theta \quad \text{and} \quad y = \cot \theta \]
