If `sin^2(theta-alpha)c a salpha=cos^2(theta-alpha)sinalpha=msinalphacosalpha,` then prove that `|m|geq1/(sqrt(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`sin^2(theta-alpha)cosalpha=msinalphacosalpha`
`sin^2(theta-alpha)=msinalpha-(1)`
`cos^2(theta-alpha)sinalpha=msinalphacosalpha`
`cos^2(theta-alpha)=mcosalpha-(2)`
adding equation 1 and 2
`sin^2(theta-alpha)+cos^2(theta-alpha)=m(sinalpha+cosalpha)`
`1=m(sinalpha+cosalpha)`
`[sinalpha+cosalpha=1/m]1/sqrt2`
