The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \cot \theta + \tan \theta = 2 \csc \theta \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine. We know that: - \( \cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \) - \( \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \) - \( \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \) Substituting these into the equation gives us: \[ \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \] ### Step 2: Find a common denominator for the left-hand side. The common denominator for \( \sin \theta \) and \( \cos \theta \) is \( \sin \theta \cos \theta \). Thus, we can rewrite the left-hand side: \[ \frac{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta} = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \] (using the identity \( \cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1 \)). ### Step 3: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions. Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ \cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = \sin \theta \cos \theta \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 = \sin \theta \cos \theta \] ### Step 4: Use the double angle identity. We can use the identity \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \) to rewrite the equation: \[ 1 = \frac{1}{2} \sin(2\theta) \] Multiplying both sides by 2 gives: \[ \sin(2\theta) = 2 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the equation. The sine function can only take values between -1 and 1. Therefore, there are no solutions for \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \). ### Conclusion: Since \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \) has no solutions, the original equation \( \cot \theta + \tan \theta = 2 \csc \theta \) has no solutions.
