To find the number of solutions of the pair of simultaneous trigonometric equations in the interval [0,2π]:
First Equation:
2sin2θ−cos2θ=0
Using the double-angle identity cos2θ=1−2sin2θ, we substitute this into the equation:
2sin2θ−(1−2sin2θ)=0
4sin2θ−1=0
sin2θ=41⟹sinθ=±21
Second Equation:
2cos2θ−3sinθ=0
Using the identity cos2θ=1−sin2θ, we rewrite the equation in terms of sinθ:
2(1−sin2θ)−3sinθ=0
2−2sin2θ−3sinθ=0
2sin2θ+3sinθ−2=0
Factoring the quadratic equation:
(2sinθ−1)(sinθ+2)=0
Since −1≤sinθ≤1, the factor sinθ+2=0 yields no real solution. Thus:
sinθ=21
Simultaneous Solutions:
For both equations to be satisfied simultaneously, θ must satisfy:
sinθ=21
In the interval [0,2π], the solutions for sinθ=21 are:
θ=6πandθ=65π
Thus, there are exactly two solutions.
