TS Inter 1st Year Maths 1A Trigonometric Equations Formulas

→ Trigonometric equation :
An equation involving trigonometric functions is called a trigonometric equation.
Ex – 1 : a cos² θ – b sin θ + c = 0
Ex – 2 : a cos θ + b sin θ + c = 0
Ex – 3 : a tan θ + b sec θ + c = 0

→ General solution (or) solution set:
The set of all values of θ which satisfy a trigonometric equation f(θ) = 0 is called general solution (or) solution set of f(θ) = 0.

→ Principle value:
1. There exists a unique value of θ in \(\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) satisfying sin θ = k, k ∈ R. |k| ≤ 1. This value of θ is called principle value of θ (or) principle solution of sin θ = k.
Ex :

• Principle solution of sin θ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{6}\).
• Principle solution of sin θ = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\) is \(\frac{-\pi}{4}\).

2. There exists a unique value of θ in [0, n] satisfying cos θ = k. k ∈ R. |k| < 1. This value of θ is called principle value of θ (or) principle solution of cos θ = k.
Ex :

• Principle solution of cos θ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{4}\).
• Principle solution of cos θ = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) is \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\).

3. There exists a unique value of θ in \(\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\) satisfying tan θ = k, k ∈ R. This value of θ is called principle value of θ (or) principle solution of tan θ = k.
Ex :

• Principle solution of tan θ = √3 is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\).
• Principle solution of tan θ = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\) is \(\frac{-\pi}{6}\)
