Trigonometric Equation 1
1. TRIGONOMETRIC EQUATIONS An equation involving one or more trigonometrical ratios of unknown angle is called trigonometric equation e.g. cos 2 x – 4 sinx = 1. It is to be noted that a trigonometrical identity is satisfied for every value of the unknown angle whereas, trigonometric equation is satisfied only for some values (finite or infinite in number) of unknown angle. e.g. sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1 is a trigonometrical identity as it is satisfied for every value of x∈R.
2. SOLUTION OFATRIGONOMETRIC EQUATION A value of the unknown angle which satisfies the given equation is called a solution of the equation
e.g. 6 / π = θ is a solution of sinθ = 2 1 .
3. GENERAL SOLUTION Since trigonometrical functions are periodic functions, solutions of trigonometric equations can be generalized with the help of the periodicity of the trigonometrical functions. The solution consisting of all possible solutions of a trigonometric equation is called its general solution. We use the following formulae for solving the trigonometric equations: ) I n ( ∈
Ø sinθ = sinα ⇒ θ = nπ + (– 1) n α, where α π π
∈ − L N M O Q P ∈ 2 2 , , n I .
Ø cosθ = cosα ⇒ θ = 2nπ ± α, where α π ∈ ∈ 0, , n I .
Ø tanθ = tanα ⇒ θ = nπ + α, where α π π
∈ − F H G I K J ∈ 2 2 , , n I .
Ø sin 2 θ = sin 2 α ⇒ θ = nπ ± α, where α π ∈ L N M O Q P ∈ 0 2 , ,n I .
Ø cos 2 θ = cos 2 α ⇒θ = nπ ± α, where α π ∈ L N M O Q P ∈ 0 2 , ,n I .
Ø tan 2 θ = tan 2 α ⇒ θ = nπ ± α, where α π ∈ L N M I K J ∈ 0 2 , ,n I .
Note: (For these type of equations students must use these solution to get correct answers)
Ø sin θ = 0 ⇒ θ = nπ,
Ø cos θ = 0 ⇒ θ = (2n + 1) 2 π ,
Ø tan θ = 0 ⇒ θ = nπ,
Ø sinθ = 1 ⇒ θ = (4n + 1) 2 π
Ø sinθ = –1 ⇒ θ = (4n – 1) 2 π

Trigonometric Equation 3

5. SOME IMPORTANTPOINTS TO REMEMBER Ø While solving a trigonometric equation, squaring the equation at any step should be avoided
as far as possible. If squaring is necessary, check the solution for extraneous values. Ø Never cancel terms containing unknown terms on the two sides, which are in product. It
may cause loss of genuine solution.
Ø The answer should not contain such values of angles, which make any of the terms undefined.
Ø Domain should not be changed. If it is changed, necessary corrections must be incorporated.
Ø Check that the denominator is not zero at any stage while solving equations.
Ø Some times you may find that your answers differ from those in the package in their notations. This may be due to the different methods of solving the same problem. Whenever you come across such situation, you must check their authenticity. This will ensure that your answer is correct.
Ø While solving trigonometric equations you may get same set of solution repeated in your
answer. It is necessary for you to exclude these repetitions, e.g. nπ + 2 π , ) I n ( ∈ forms a
part of I k , 10 5 k
∈ π
+ π
the second part of the second set of solution (you can check by
putting k = 5 m + 2 (m∈I). Hence the final answer is I k , 10 5
k ∈
π +
π .
Ø Some times the two solution set consist partly of common values. In all such cases the common part must be presented only once. Now we present some illustrations for solving the different forms of trigonometric equations. Which will highlight the importance of above mentioned points.

Illustration 5 : Solve: 2sin 2 x – 5sinx cosx – 8cos 2 x = – 2.
Solution: In such problems we divide both sides by cos 2 x. This converts the given equation in a quadratic equation in tanx, which can be easily solved. Clearly, cosx ≠ 0 For if cosx = 0, then 2sin 2 x = – 2 ⇒ sin 2 x = – 1 which is impossible. Given equation is 2sin 2 x – 5sinx cosx – 8cos 2 x = – 2 or, 2tan 2 x – 5tanx – 8 = –2sec 2 x [dividing both sides by cos 2 x] or, 2tan 2 x – 5tanx – 8 + 2 (1 + tan 2 x) = 0 or, 4 tan 2 x –5tanx – 6 = 0 or, 4tan 2 x – 8tanx + 3tanx – 6 = 0 or, 4tanx (tanx –2) + 3 (tanx – 2) = 0 or, (tanx – 2) (4tanx + 3) = 0 ∴ either tanx – 2 = 0 ⇒ tanx = 2 = tanα (suppose) ⇒ x = nπ + α = nπ + tan –1 2

(i) Draw the graph of f(x) in a interval length equal to fundamental period of f(x). (ii) Draw the line y = a. (iii) Take the portion of the graph for which inequation is satisfied. (iv) To generalise add pn (n∈ I) and take union over set of integers , where p is fundamental
period of f(x).
