2𝑡𝑎𝑛θ(𝑐𝑜𝑠θ − 23…) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2θ(𝑡𝑎𝑛²θ + 1) b) 360, 49, 540
Show that
14𝑠𝑖𝑛2θ(− 23𝑐𝑜𝑠²θ + 8𝑐𝑜𝑠θ + 15) = 0

b) Hence solve …
15 Proof 2
(𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥) < 1
(cosx-sinx)^2<1 3 marks
cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)-2sin(x)cos(x)<1
1-2sin(x)cos(x)<1
-2sin(x)cos(x)<0
2sin(x)cos(x)><0
sin(2x)><0
Contradiction, for value the sin(2x) contradiction needs to be explained
otherwise the proof is incomplete.
Sin(2x)>0 is impossible because by the definition of obtuse, x is between 90
and 180 and so 2x is between 180 and 360, let a=2x. So sin(2x)=sin(a)
which is negative because from the graph of sin(x), the ranges x at 180 and
360 has sin(x) below the axis.
