The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sin \theta + \sqrt{3} \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \sin \theta + \sqrt{3} \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 2: Multiply and divide by \(\sqrt{1^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2}\) We can express the left-hand side in a single trigonometric function. The expression can be rewritten by multiplying and dividing by \(\sqrt{1^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{4} = 2\): \[ \frac{1}{2} \sin \theta + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \] ### Step 3: Identify the angles Notice that: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \sin \frac{\pi}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \cos \frac{\pi}{6} \] Thus, we can rewrite the left-hand side as: \[ \sin \frac{\pi}{6} \sin \theta + \cos \frac{\pi}{6} \cos \theta \] ### Step 4: Use the sine addition formula Using the sine addition formula: \[ \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B = \sin(A + B) \] we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \] ### Step 5: Solve for the angle The general solution for \(\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) is: \[ x = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Thus, we have: \[ \theta + \frac{\pi}{6} = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4} \] ### Step 6: Isolate \(\theta\) Now, we isolate \(\theta\): \[ \theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{6} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the expression To combine the terms, we need a common denominator (which is 12): \[ \theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{3\pi}{12} - \frac{2\pi}{12} \] \[ \theta = n\pi + \frac{(-1)^n 3\pi - 2\pi}{12} \] \[ \theta = n\pi + \frac{(-1)^n \pi + \pi}{12} \] This gives us the final solution: \[ \theta = n\pi + \frac{(-1)^n \pi + \pi}{12} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the general solution for the equation \( \sin \theta + \sqrt{3} \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \) is: \[ \theta = n\pi + \frac{(-1)^n \pi + \pi}{12}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]
