theta=pi/2+2pik

Explanation:

costheta/(sinthetacostheta)=1

costheta=sinthetacostheta

1=sintheta

To solve for theta, we need to find where on the unit circle that the height is 1, which is at:

(0,1) is at the rotation pi/2 (or 90^@), so that is the solution. Since the answer is the same after any full rotation, we add 2pik (k is any integer) to represent all the possible solutions even after adding or subtracting any full rotation. The final answer is:

theta=pi/2+2pik

See the answer below...

Explanation:

costheta/(sinthetacostheta)=1

=>costheta=sintheta cos theta

=>costheta-sintheta cos theta=0

=>costheta(1-sintheta)=0

  • Either,
    costheta=0=cos(pi/2)color(red)(=>)color(red)(ul(bar(|color(green)(theta=2npi+-(pi/2))|

  • Or,
    (1-sintheta)=0color(red)(=>)sintheta=1=sin(pi/2)color(red)(=>)color(red)(ul(bar(|color(green)(theta=((4n+1)pi)/2)|)))" ""always "(n in I)

Hope it helps...
Thank you...
