Question
Given that 'θ' is an angle less than 120 °
, what is the value of 'θ' if it satisfies the equation 3cos 2 θ = 2 + sin 2 θ.Solution
Given, 3cos 2 θ = 2 + sin 2 θ
3cos 2 θ - sin 2  θ = 2
3cos 2 θ - (1 - cos 2  θ) = 2
4cos 2 θ = 3
cos 2 θ = (3/4)
cosθ = √3/2 (Since, in options maximum value of 'θ' is 90 o  therefore, we will take the positive root only)
cosθ = cos30 o
θ = 30 o
