How Does Trigonometry Affect the Roots of a Quadratic Equation?

In summary, the conversation discusses the conditions for a quadratic equation with trigonometric functions to have more than two roots. The equation must be degenerate with all coefficients, including the constant term, equal to zero. The conversation also mentions that the equation can be written in general form and its roots can be represented by the variables alpha, beta, and gamma. To find the value of theta, the discriminant of the equation must be greater than zero. The equation's coefficients are also related to the given condition that a+b+c=1.

Do you mean has more than two roots as an equation in \(x\)?

Well if this is a non-degenerate quadratic it has exactly two roots in \(\mathbb{C}\), and two or fewer roots in \( \mathbb{R}\).

For it to have more than two roots all of the coefficients (including the constant term) must be zero.

Re: quad equation with trigo

Using Caption Black Hint

If $Ax^2+Bx+C=0$ has more then Two Roots, Then It will become an Identity Which is True for all Real $x$

So $A=B=C=0$

Now here $\left(a-\sin \theta\right)\alpha^2+b\alpha+\left(c+\cos \theta\right) = 0$

Similarly $\left(a-\sin \theta\right)\beta^2+b\beta+\left(c+\cos \theta\right) = 0$

and $\left(a-\sin \theta\right)\gamma^2+b\gamma+\left(c+\cos \theta\right) = 0$

Now We Can in General as $\left(a-\sin \theta\right)y^2+by+\left(c+\cos \theta\right) = 0$

Where $y=\alpha\;,\beta\;,\gamma$ are the roots of above Given equation

If This equation has Real and Distinct Roots, then Its Discriminant $>0$

So $b^2-4.\left(a-\sin \theta\right).\left(c+\cos \theta\right)>0$

and $a+b+c=1$ is Given

after Simplification $(b^2-4ac)+4(c\sin \theta+a\cos \theta-\sin \theta.\cos \theta)>0$

Now How can find value of $\theta$ from here

Help Required.

Thanks

1. What is a quadratic equation with trigo?

A quadratic equation with trigo is an equation that involves both quadratic terms (x^2) and trigonometric functions (sinx, cosx, tanx, etc.). It typically takes the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable.

2. How do you solve a quadratic equation with trigo?

To solve a quadratic equation with trigo, you can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. First, identify the values of a, b, and c in the equation. Then, plug these values into the formula to find the solutions for x.

3. What is the relationship between the quadratic formula and the unit circle?

The quadratic formula is derived from the unit circle, which is a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin on a coordinate plane. When solving a quadratic equation with trigo, the values of a, b, and c represent the coordinates of the point where the unit circle intersects the x-axis. This relationship is important in understanding the behavior of trigonometric functions.

4. Can a quadratic equation with trigo have more than two solutions?

Yes, a quadratic equation with trigo can have more than two solutions. In fact, it can have an infinite number of solutions, as trigonometric functions are periodic and repeat infinitely. However, when solving a quadratic equation with trigo, we typically only consider the solutions within a certain interval.

5. What practical applications does a quadratic equation with trigo have?

Quadratic equations with trigo have many practical applications in physics, engineering, and other fields. For example, they can be used to model the motion of a pendulum, the oscillations of a spring, or the trajectory of a projectile. They are also important in understanding the behavior of waves and vibrations in various systems.
