The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(2 \sin^2 \theta - \cos^2 \theta = 2\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the Pythagorean Identity We know that: \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] From this, we can express \(\cos^2 \theta\) in terms of \(\sin^2 \theta\): \[ \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta \] ### Step 2: Substitute \(\cos^2 \theta\) in the Equation Substituting \(\cos^2 \theta\) in the original equation: \[ 2 \sin^2 \theta - (1 - \sin^2 \theta) = 2 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Equation Now, simplify the equation: \[ 2 \sin^2 \theta - 1 + \sin^2 \theta = 2 \] Combine like terms: \[ 3 \sin^2 \theta - 1 = 2 \] ### Step 4: Isolate \(\sin^2 \theta\) Add 1 to both sides: \[ 3 \sin^2 \theta = 3 \] Now, divide both sides by 3: \[ \sin^2 \theta = 1 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(\sin \theta\) Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ \sin \theta = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad \sin \theta = -1 \] ### Step 6: Find the Values of \(\theta\) The value of \(\theta\) for which \(\sin \theta = 1\) is: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \quad \text{(for any integer } n\text{)} \] The value of \(\theta\) for which \(\sin \theta = -1\) is: \[ \theta = \frac{3\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \quad \text{(for any integer } n\text{)} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the values of \(\theta\) that satisfy the equation are: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = \frac{3\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \]
