11.4 General solution of circular function equations

The solution of circular function equations has been discussed in Section 10.9 for functions
SA
over a restricted domain. In this section, we consider the general solutions of such equations
over the maximal domain for each function.
If a circular function equation has one or more solutions in one ‘cycle’, then it will have
corresponding solutions in each ‘cycle’ of its domain, i.e., there will be an infinite number of
solutions.
For example, if cos x = a, then the solution in the interval [0, ] is given by:
x = cos−1 (a)
By the symmetry properties of the cosine function, other solutions are given by:
−cos−1 (a), ±2 + cos−1 (a), ±2 − cos−1 (a), ±4 + cos−1 (a),
±4 − cos−1 (a), . . . and so on.
In general, if cos (x) = a,
x = 2n ± cos−1 (a), where n ∈ Z and a ∈ [−1, 1]

P1: FXS/ABE P2: FXS
Back to Menu >>>

Similarly, if tan (x) = a,
x = n + tan−1 (a), where n ∈ Z and a ∈ R
If sin (x) = a,
x = 2n + sin−1 (a) or x = (2n + 1) − sin−1 (a), where n ∈ Z and a ∈ [−1, 1]
Note: An alternative and more concise way to express the general solution of sin (x) = a is:
x = n + (−1)n sin−1 (a), where n ∈ Z and a ∈ [−1, 1]

Derivation of the addition formulas using
The use of matrices to describe rotations about

the origin has been discussed in Section 10.11.
We can use matrices as an alternative method to
derive the addition formulas. Consider, for

i.e., cos (u + v) = cos v cos u − sin v sin u or cos (u + v) = cos u cos v − sin u sin v
and sin (u + v) = sin v cos u + cos v sin u or sin (u + v) = sin u cos v + cos u sin v
Similarly, consider a point y

(cos (u − v), sin (u − v)), which can be
regarded as the image of a point with
(cos u, sin u) v (cos (u – v), sin (u – v))
coordinates (cos u, sin u) under a rotation
of v c in a clockwise direction around the u

origin. O

Double angle formulas

In Section 11.2 the method of addition of ordinates was used in the plotting of the sums of
circular functions. In this section it will be shown how functions with rule of the form
f (x) = a cos x + b sin x may have the rule written in terms of a single circular function.
First write

√ a b
a cos x + b sin x = a 2 + b2 √ cos x + √ sin x
a 2 + b2 a 2 + b2
√
= a 2 + b2 (cos cos x + sin sin x)
a b
where cos = √ and sin = √
a 2 + b2 a 2 + b2
√
Let r = a 2 + b2 and thus
a cos x + b sin x = r cos (x − )

Similarly it may be shown that
a cos x + b sin x = r sin (x + )

√ a b
where r = a 2 + b2 , sin = √ and cos = √
a 2 + b2 a 2 + b2
Example 16

Express cos x − 3 sin x in the form r cos (x − ) and hence find the range of the function
