sin^2 n theta- sin^2 (n-1)theta= sin^2 t...

`sin^2 n theta- sin^2 (n-1)theta= sin^2 theta` where `n` is constant and `n != 0,1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`theta=k pi, (p pi)/(n-1), ((2q+1)pi)/(2n); k, p, q, n in Z`

`sin^(2)n theta-sin^(2) (n-1) theta=sin^(2) theta`
or `sin(n theta-(n-1) theta) sin (n theta+(n-1) theta)= sin^(2) theta`
or `sin theta sin ((2n-1) theta)=sin^(2) theta`
or `sin theta=0` or `sin((2n-1) theta)= sin theta`
`rArr theta=k pi`, or `(2n-1) theta=m pi +(-1)^(m) theta, k m in Z`
`rArr theta= kpi`, or `(2n-1) theta=mpi+theta`, when `m` is even and `(2n-1) theta=mpi - theta`, when `m` is odd
`rArr theta=kpi`, or `theta=mpi//(2n-2)`, when `m` is even and `theta=mpi//2n`, when `m` is odd
`rArr theta=kpi` or `theta=p pi//(n-1)`, and `theta=(2q+1)pi//2n`, where `k, p, n q in Z`
