The correct Answer is:
To find the principal solutions of the given equations, we will solve each equation step by step. ### Part (1): Solve `sin x = 1/sqrt(2)` 1. **Identify the angle whose sine is `1/sqrt(2)`.** We know that `sin(π/4) = 1/sqrt(2)`. 2. **Determine the quadrants where sine is positive.** Sine is positive in the first and second quadrants. 3. **Find the angles in those quadrants.** - First quadrant: \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \) - Second quadrant: \( x = \pi - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3\pi}{4} \) 4. **Write the principal solutions.** The principal solutions for `sin x = 1/sqrt(2)` are: \( x = \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4} \) ### Part (2): Solve `tan x = -1` 1. **Identify the angle whose tangent is `-1`.** We know that `tan(π/4) = 1`, so `tan(π/4 + π) = -1`. 2. **Determine the quadrants where tangent is negative.** Tangent is negative in the second and fourth quadrants. 3. **Find the angles in those quadrants.** - Second quadrant: \( x = \pi - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3\pi}{4} \) - Fourth quadrant: \( x = 2\pi - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{7\pi}{4} \) 4. **Write the principal solutions.** The principal solutions for `tan x = -1` are: \( x = \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4} \) ### Part (3): Solve `sqrt(3) cosec x + 2 = 0` 1. **Rearrange the equation.** Start by isolating `cosec x`: \( \sqrt{3} \cdot \csc x = -2 \) \( \csc x = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \) 2. **Convert cosecant to sine.** \( \csc x = \frac{1}{\sin x} \) Thus, \( \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) 3. **Determine the quadrants where sine is negative.** Sine is negative in the third and fourth quadrants. 4. **Find the angles in those quadrants.** - Reference angle: \( x = \frac{\pi}{3} \) (since \( \sin(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \)) - Third quadrant: \( x = \pi + \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{4\pi}{3} \) - Fourth quadrant: \( x = 2\pi - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{5\pi}{3} \) 5. **Write the principal solutions.** The principal solutions for `sqrt(3) cosec x + 2 = 0` are: \( x = \frac{4\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3} \) ### Summary of Principal Solutions: 1. For `sin x = 1/sqrt(2)`: \( x = \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4} \) 2. For `tan x = -1`: \( x = \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4} \) 3. For `sqrt(3) cosec x + 2 = 0`: \( x = \frac{4\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3} \)
