The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given: \[ \frac{\sin^4 \theta}{x} + \frac{\cos^4 \theta}{y} = \frac{1}{x+y} \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start by rewriting the equation to make it easier to manipulate. We can take the least common multiple (LCM) of the left-hand side: \[ \frac{y \sin^4 \theta + x \cos^4 \theta}{xy} = \frac{1}{x+y} \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply Next, we cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: \[ (x+y)(y \sin^4 \theta + x \cos^4 \theta) = xy \] ### Step 3: Expand and rearrange Expanding the left-hand side gives us: \[ y(x+y) \sin^4 \theta + x(x+y) \cos^4 \theta = xy \] Rearranging this, we have: \[ y(x+y) \sin^4 \theta + x(x+y) \cos^4 \theta - xy = 0 \] ### Step 4: Factor out common terms We can factor out \(xy\) from the equation: \[ y(x+y) \sin^4 \theta + x(x+y) \cos^4 \theta = xy \] ### Step 5: Analyze the equation Now we need to analyze the conditions under which this equation is solvable for \(\theta\). We can express \(\sin^4 \theta\) and \(\cos^4 \theta\) in terms of \(\sin^2 \theta\) and \(\cos^2 \theta\): \[ \sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta = (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta)^2 - 2\sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta = 1 - 2\sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta \] ### Step 6: Set up the condition For the equation to be solvable, the term \(x \cos^2 \theta - y \sin^2 \theta\) must equal zero: \[ x \cos^2 \theta = y \sin^2 \theta \] This implies: \[ \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} = \frac{x}{y} \implies \tan^2 \theta = \frac{x}{y} \] ### Step 7: Determine the quadrants The expression \(\tan^2 \theta\) is always positive. Therefore, \(\frac{x}{y}\) must also be positive. This occurs in two cases: 1. \(x > 0\) and \(y > 0\) (First Quadrant) 2. \(x < 0\) and \(y < 0\) (Third Quadrant) ### Conclusion Thus, the quadrants of the coordinate plane where the equation is soluble for \(\theta\) are: **First Quadrant** and **Third Quadrant**.
