The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{\alpha^2}{1 - \tan^2 x} = \frac{\sin^2 x + \alpha^2 - 2}{\cos 2x}, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation Start by rewriting the equation in a more manageable form. Recall that \[ \tan^2 x = \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x} \quad \text{and} \quad \cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x. \] This allows us to express the left-hand side as: \[ \frac{\alpha^2 \cos^2 x}{\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}. \] Thus, the equation becomes: \[ \frac{\alpha^2 \cos^2 x}{\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x} = \frac{\sin^2 x + \alpha^2 - 2}{\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}. \] ### Step 2: Clear the denominators Since both sides of the equation have the same denominator, we can multiply both sides by \((\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)\) (assuming it is not zero): \[ \alpha^2 \cos^2 x = \sin^2 x + \alpha^2 - 2. \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ \alpha^2 \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x - \alpha^2 + 2 = 0. \] ### Step 4: Factor the equation This can be rearranged as: \[ \alpha^2 (\cos^2 x - 1) + 2 - \sin^2 x = 0. \] Using the identity \(\cos^2 x = 1 - \sin^2 x\), we can substitute: \[ \alpha^2 (-\sin^2 x) + 2 - \sin^2 x = 0. \] ### Step 5: Combine like terms Combining the terms gives: \[ (-\alpha^2 - 1) \sin^2 x + 2 = 0. \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(\sin^2 x\) Rearranging this gives: \[ \sin^2 x = \frac{2}{\alpha^2 + 1}. \] ### Step 7: Determine the range of \(\sin^2 x\) Since \(\sin^2 x\) must lie in the interval \([0, 1]\), we need: \[ 0 \leq \frac{2}{\alpha^2 + 1} \leq 1. \] ### Step 8: Solve the inequalities 1. From \(0 \leq \frac{2}{\alpha^2 + 1}\), we see that \(\alpha^2 + 1 > 0\) is always true. 2. From \(\frac{2}{\alpha^2 + 1} \leq 1\): \[ 2 \leq \alpha^2 + 1 \implies \alpha^2 \geq 1. \] ### Step 9: Find the values of \(\alpha\) This means: \[ \alpha \leq -1 \quad \text{or} \quad \alpha \geq 1. \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values of \(\alpha\) for which the equation has solutions are: \[ \alpha \leq -1 \quad \text{or} \quad \alpha \geq 1. \]
