Using the R method for finding all solutions to $sin(2a) - cos(2a) = frac{sqrt{6}}{2}$. My solution differs...












3












$begingroup$



How many solutions does
$$sin(2a) - cos(2a) = frac{sqrt{6}}{2}$$
have between $-90^circ$ and $90^circ$?




I used the R method and got
$$2a-45^circ = arcsinleft(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}right).$$
Since $a$ is between $-90^circ$ and $90^circ$, then $2a$ is between $-180^circ$ and $180^circ$. The RHS can be $60^circ$, $120^circ$, $-240^circ$, and $-300^circ$. Only $60^circ$ and $120^circ$ fit the criteria, but the answer is 4 solutions.




Where did I go wrong?

            Thanks, but i want to know whats wrong with this solution that got 4 as the answer. Sin 2a - cos 2a = root 6 /2, then he squared it, getting 1-2sin2acos2a= 3/2 which is sin 4a = -1/2 which does have 4 solutions.

            @SuperMage1 when we square we add solutions $x=2$ square $x^2 = 4$ two solutions -/+2. If you square you need to return to the original equation and check the answers

            @Ameryr That's why you have a plot of the original equation, so you can confirm that there are only two solutions, not 4

          Hint:



          $$2a-45^circ=180^circ n+(-1)^narcsindfrac{sqrt3}2$$



          If $n$ is odd$=2m+1$(say)



          $$2a-45=360m+180-60$$



          But $-180-45le2a-45le180-45$



          $-225le360m+120le135$



          $?le mle?$



          What if $n$ is even $=2m$(say)

          $sin(2a-45) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$



          $2a-45 = 60 + 360n Rightarrow a = 52.5 + 180n$



          $2a-45 = 120+ 360n Rightarrow a = 82.5 + 180n$



          Either $a = 52.5 $ or $a = 82.5$. If you square



          $sin(4a) = frac{-1}{2}$



          $4a = 210 + 360n Rightarrow a = 52.5 + 90n $



          $4a = 330 + 360n Rightarrow a = 82.5 + 90n $
          First two solution
          $a = 52.5 $



          $a= 52.5 - 90 = -38.5$



          The other two
          $a = 82.5 , 82.5 - 90 = -7.5$



          In both cases the second solution is rejected see
          Checking $sin(-15) - cos(-15) = frac{-sqrt{6}}{2}$ which is wrong same for the other

            @SuperMage1 when we square we add solutions $x=2$ square $x^2 = 4$ two solutions -/+2. If you square you need to return to the original equation and check the answers
