Question 42

Mathematics Trigonometric Equations Hard

The general value of \(\theta\), satisfying the equation \(\sin \theta=\frac{-1}{2},\, \tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}}\)

(A) \(n\pi+\frac{\pi}{6},n\in I\)
(B) \(n\pi+{\lgroup{-1}\rgroup}^n(\frac{7\pi}{6}),n\in I\)
(C) \(2n\pi+\frac{7\pi}{6},n\in I\)
(D) \(2n\pi+\frac{11\pi}{6},n\in I\)
View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option C

Step-by-step Solution:

The first value of \(\theta\) satisfying the equations \[ \tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \quad \sin \theta = -\frac{1}{2} \] lies in the third quadrant, and the value is \[ \pi + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{7\pi}{6} \] The general value of \(\theta\) can be obtained by adding a multiple of \(2\pi\): \[ \text{General value} = 2n\pi + \frac{7\pi}{6} \] \
