(i) Start with the expression:
\(\frac{\sin \theta}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} + \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta - \cos \theta}\)
Combine the fractions:
\(\frac{\sin \theta (\sin \theta - \cos \theta) + \cos \theta (\sin \theta + \cos \theta)}{(\sin \theta + \cos \theta)(\sin \theta - \cos \theta)}\)
Expand the numerator:
\(\sin^2 \theta - \sin \theta \cos \theta + \cos \theta \sin \theta + \cos^2 \theta\)
Which simplifies to:
\(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta\)
Using the identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\), the expression becomes:
\(\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta - \cos^2 \theta}\)
(ii) Solve the equation:
\(\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta - \cos^2 \theta} = 3\)
\(\sin^2 \theta - \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{3}\)
Using \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\), let \(s = \sin \theta\) and \(c = \cos \theta\):
\(s^2 - c^2 = \frac{1}{3}\)
\(s^2 + c^2 = 1\)
Subtract the equations:
\(2c^2 = \frac{2}{3}\)
\(c^2 = \frac{1}{3}\)
\(c = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
\(s^2 = \frac{2}{3}\)
\(s = \pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\)
\(\tan \theta = \pm \sqrt{2}\)
Solutions for \(\theta\) are:
\(\theta = 54.7^\circ, 125.3^\circ, 234.7^\circ, 305.3^\circ\)
