The correct Answer is:
To form a quadratic equation with rational coefficients where one root is \(\sin 18^\circ\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the value of \(\sin 18^\circ\) We know from trigonometric identities that: \[ \sin 18^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{4} \] ### Step 2: Identify the conjugate root Since \(\sin 18^\circ\) is an irrational number, its conjugate must also be a root of the quadratic equation. The conjugate of \(\frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{4}\) is: \[ \sin 18^\circ' = \frac{-\sqrt{5} - 1}{4} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the sum of the roots Let the roots be \(r_1 = \sin 18^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{4}\) and \(r_2 = \sin 18^\circ' = \frac{-\sqrt{5} - 1}{4}\). The sum of the roots \(S\) is given by: \[ S = r_1 + r_2 = \frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{4} + \frac{-\sqrt{5} - 1}{4} \] Combining the fractions: \[ S = \frac{(\sqrt{5} - 1) + (-\sqrt{5} - 1)}{4} = \frac{-2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the product of the roots The product of the roots \(P\) is given by: \[ P = r_1 \cdot r_2 = \left(\frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{4}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{-\sqrt{5} - 1}{4}\right) \] Using the difference of squares: \[ P = \frac{(-1)(\sqrt{5} - 1)(\sqrt{5} + 1)}{16} = \frac{-((\sqrt{5})^2 - 1^2)}{16} = \frac{-(5 - 1)}{16} = \frac{-4}{16} = -\frac{1}{4} \] ### Step 5: Form the quadratic equation Using the standard form of a quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - Sx + P = 0 \] Substituting the values of \(S\) and \(P\): \[ x^2 - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)x - \frac{1}{4} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 + \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{1}{4} = 0 \] ### Step 6: Clear the fractions To eliminate the fractions, multiply the entire equation by 4: \[ 4x^2 + 2x - 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The quadratic equation with rational coefficients whose one root is \(\sin 18^\circ\) is: \[ \boxed{4x^2 + 2x - 1 = 0} \]
