Problem 474
474

(i) Show that the equation \(3 \tan \theta = 2 \cos \theta\) can be expressed as \(2 \sin^2 \theta + 3 \sin \theta - 2 = 0\).

(ii) Hence solve the equation \(3 \tan \theta = 2 \cos \theta\), for \(0^\circ \leq \theta \leq 360^\circ\).

(a) Prove the identity \(\frac{\sin \theta}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} + \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta - \cos \theta} \equiv \frac{\tan^2 \theta + 1}{\tan^2 \theta - 1}\).

(b) Hence find the exact solutions of the equation \(\frac{\sin \theta}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} + \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta - \cos \theta} = 2\) for \(0 \leq \theta \leq \pi\).
