Q.5 Find the general solution of \(4\cos^2\theta = 3\).
Best answer
Answer: \(\theta = n\pi \pm \dfrac{\pi}{6},\ n \in Z\)
\(\cos^2\theta = \dfrac{3}{4} = \left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \cos^2\dfrac{\pi}{6}\).
The general solution of \(\cos^2\theta = \cos^2\alpha\) is \(\theta = n\pi \pm \alpha\). Hence \(\theta = n\pi \pm \dfrac{\pi}{6}\), where \(n \in Z\).
