Question
sin 6θ + sin 4θ + sin 2θ = 0, then θ =
Options
`(n pi)/4` or `npi +- pi/3`
`(n pi)/4` or `npi +- pi/6`
`(n pi)/4` or 2`npi +- pi/6`
None of these
MCQ
Solution
`(n pi)/4` or `npi +- pi/3`
Explanation:
sin 6θ + sin 4θ + sin 2θ = 0
⇒ 2 sin 4θ cos 2θ + sin 4θ = 0
⇒ sin 4θ (2 cos 2θ + 1) = 0
⇒ 2 cos 2θ = – 1
⇒ cos 2θ = `- 1/2 = cos ((2pi)/3)`
⇒ 2θ = `2npi +- (2pi)/3`
⇒ θ = `npi + pi/3`
And sin 4θ = 0
⇒ 4θ = `npi`
⇒ θ = `(npi)/4`
θ = `(npi)/4`or `npi +- pi/3`.
