solve the following problem (√3+1)*(cos(x/2))^2+((√3-1)sinx))/2-1=0 (-π<x<π)


right answer


tan(x/2)=s (-π/2< x/2 < π/2)


1+(tan(x/2))^2=1/(cos(x/2))^2) , cos(x/2))^2=1/(1+s^2)


sinx=2s/(1+s^2)


(√3+1)/(1+s^2)+((√3-1)/2)*(2s/(1+s^2))-1=0


∴ (√3+1)+(√3-1)s-(1+s^2)=0


∴ s^2-(√3-1)s-√3=0


∴ (s+1)*(s-√3)=0


tan(x/2)=-1, √3, (x/2)=-π/4, π/3


∴ x=-π/2, 2π/3





what i have done


(√3+1)*(cos(x/2))^2+((√3-1)sinx))/2-1=0 (-π<x<π)


(√3+1)*(cosx+1)/2+((√3-1)sinx))/2-1=0


(√3+1)cosx+(√3-1)sinx-2+√3+1=0


(√3+1)cosx+(√3-1)sinx=1-√3


(4+2√3)(cosx)^2+(4-2√3)(sinx)^2+2(√3+1)(√3-1)cosx*sinx=4-2√3


4((cosx)^2+(sinx)^2)+2√3((cosx)^2-(sinx)^2)+2sin(2x)=4-2√3


2√3((cosx)^2-(sinx)^2)+2sin(2x)+2√3=0


2√3(cos(2x))+2sin(2x)+2√3=0


cos(2x)+(1/√3)*sin(2x)+1=0


tanx=t (-π<x<π)


cos(2x)=(1-t^2)/(1+t^2), sinx=2t/(1+t^2)


cos(2x)+(1/√3)*sin(2x)+1=0


(1-t^2)/(1+t^2)+(1/√3)*(2t/(1+t^2))+1=0


(1+t^2)>0


(1-t^2)+(1/√3)*2t+(1+t^2)=0


t=-√3


∴ tanx=-√3


∴ x=-π/3, 2π/3

Why did the wrong answer come out?:sad:
