ii) Solve
After checking, we find that the only solution in the given interval is
Step 1 :First, we rewrite the given equation using the reciprocal identities for cosecant and cotangent. The reciprocal of cosecant is sine, and the reciprocal of cotangent is tangent. So, the equation becomes
Step 2 :Next, we use the Pythagorean identity
Step 3 :Now, we multiply through by
Step 4 :We can simplify this equation by using the double-angle identities
Step 5 :Expanding and simplifying, we get
Step 6 :This is a quadratic equation in
Step 7 :Solving for
Step 8 :We can find the solutions for
Step 9 :Doing this, we find that the solutions for
Step 10 :However, we must check these solutions to make sure they are in the interval
Step 11 :After checking, we find that the only solution in the given interval is
