The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sin x + \sqrt{3} \cos x = 1 \) for \( x \) in the range \( 0^\circ \leq x \leq 90^\circ \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \sin x + \sqrt{3} \cos x = 1 \] ### Step 2: Isolate the sine term To isolate \( \sin x \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ \sin x = 1 - \sqrt{3} \cos x \] ### Step 3: Square both sides To eliminate the sine and cosine, we can square both sides: \[ (\sin x)^2 = (1 - \sqrt{3} \cos x)^2 \] This expands to: \[ \sin^2 x = 1 - 2\sqrt{3} \cos x + 3 \cos^2 x \] ### Step 4: Use the Pythagorean identity Recall that \( \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 \), so we can substitute \( \sin^2 x \) with \( 1 - \cos^2 x \): \[ 1 - \cos^2 x = 1 - 2\sqrt{3} \cos x + 3 \cos^2 x \] ### Step 5: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ 0 = 4 \cos^2 x - 2\sqrt{3} \cos x \] ### Step 6: Factor the equation Factoring out \( \cos x \): \[ \cos x (4 \cos x - 2\sqrt{3}) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( \cos x \) This gives us two cases: 1. \( \cos x = 0 \) 2. \( 4 \cos x - 2\sqrt{3} = 0 \) From the first case, \( \cos x = 0 \) leads to: \[ x = 90^\circ \] From the second case: \[ 4 \cos x = 2\sqrt{3} \implies \cos x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] This leads to: \[ x = 30^\circ \] ### Step 8: Check the solutions Now we need to check which of these solutions satisfies the original equation: - For \( x = 30^\circ \): \[ \sin 30^\circ + \sqrt{3} \cos 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = 2 \quad (\text{not } 1) \] - For \( x = 90^\circ \): \[ \sin 90^\circ + \sqrt{3} \cos 90^\circ = 1 + 0 = 1 \quad (\text{correct}) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{90^\circ} \]
