The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sqrt{3} \cos \theta + \sin \theta = 2 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \sqrt{3} \cos \theta + \sin \theta = 2 \] We can rearrange this equation to isolate the trigonometric terms: \[ \sqrt{3} \cos \theta + \sin \theta - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Normalize the coefficients Next, we divide the entire equation by 2 to make it easier to work with: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cos \theta + \frac{1}{2} \sin \theta = 1 \] ### Step 3: Identify sine and cosine values We recognize that \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) is the sine of \( 60^\circ \) (or \( \frac{\pi}{3} \)) and \( \frac{1}{2} \) is the cosine of \( 60^\circ \). Thus, we can express the equation in terms of sine: \[ \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \cos \theta + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \sin \theta = 1 \] ### Step 4: Use the sine addition formula Using the sine addition formula \( \sin(a + b) = \sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b \), we can rewrite the equation: \[ \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3} + \theta\right) = 1 \] ### Step 5: Solve for the angle The general solution for \( \sin x = 1 \) is given by: \[ x = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \quad \text{for } n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{\pi}{3} + \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \] ### Step 6: Isolate \( \theta \) Now, we isolate \( \theta \): \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3} + 2n\pi \] Calculating \( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3} \): \[ \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{3\pi}{6} - \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{6} \] Thus, we have: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} + 2n\pi \] ### Step 7: Generalize the solution Since the sine function is periodic, we also consider the negative sine solution: \[ \theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Final Answer The general value of \( \theta \) is: \[ \theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]
