When a trigonometric equation contains more than one trigonometric functions,
trigonometric identities and algebraic formulae are used to transform such trigonometric a sin 2x is +ve in I and II Quadrants with the reference angle 2 x =
3
equation to an equivalent equation that contains only one trigonometric function.
The method is illustrated in the following solved examples: 2
∴ 2x = and 2 x = - = are two solutions in [ 0,2 ]

Example 1: Solve: sin x + cos x = 0.
As 2p is the period of sin 2x .

Exercise 14
⇒ 1 - 2cos x + cos 2 x = 3(1 - cos 2 x)
1. Find the solutions of the following equations which lie in [0, 2p]

Since cos x is -v e in II and III Quadrants with the reference angle x =

p 2p p 4p 7. 3cos 2 q - 2 3 sin q cosq - 3sin 2 q =
0 [Hint: Divide by sin2q]
⇒ x =p - = and x =p + = , where x U [0, 2p]
3 3 3 3 Find the solution sets of the following equations:
8. 4 sin2q - 8cosq + 1 = 0
4p
Now x = does not satisfy the given equation (i). 9. 3 tan x - sec x - 1 =0

10. cos 2x = sin 3x [Hint: sin3x = 3sinx - 4sin3x]
4p 2p 11. sec 3q= secq
∴ x = is not admissible and so x = is the only solution. 12. tan 2q + cotq = 0

13. sin 2x + sinx = 0
Since 2p is the period of cos x 14. sin 4x - sin 2x = cos 3x
2p 15. sin x + cos 3x = cos 5x
∴ General value of x is + 2n p , nUZ
3 16. sin 3 x + sin 2x + sin x = 0
ii. If cos x = 1
17. sin 7x - sin x = sin 3 x
⇒ x= 0 and x = 2p where x U [0, 2p]
18. sin x + sin 3x + sin 5x = 0
Now both csc x and cot x are not defined for x = 0 and x = 2
19. sin q + sin 3q + sin 5q + sin 7q = 0
∴ x= 0 and x = 2 are not admissible.
20. cos q + cos 3q + cos 5 q + cos 7q = 0
2p
Hence solution set = + 2n p , nUZ
