Find the principal solutions of each of the following equations :
(i)
(ii)
(iii) tan x = -1
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
To Find: Principal solution.
(i) Given:
Formula used: sin = sin
= n
+ (-1)n
, n
I
By using above formula, we have
= -sin
= sin(
= sin
x = n
+
(-1)n
Put n= 0 x = 0
+
(-1)0
x =
Put n= 1 x = 1
+
(-1)1
x =
1
x =
=
[ NOTE: =
]
So principal solution is x= and
(ii) Given:
cosx =
Formula used: cos = cos
= 2n
, n
I
By using above formula, we have
cosx = = cos
x = 2n
, n
I
Put n= 0 x = 2 × 0 ×
x =
Put n= 1 x = 2
x =
,
x =
,
[ 2
So it is not include in principal solution]
So principal solution is x= and
(iii) Given: tan x = -1
Formula used: tan = tan
= n
, n
I
By using above formula, we have
tan x = -1 = tan x = n
, n
I
Put n= 0 x = n
x =
Put n= 1 x =
x =
x =
So principal solution is x= and
(iv) Given:
cosec x =
We know that cosec sin
= 1
So sinx =
Formula used: sin = sin
= n
+ (-1)n
, n
By using above formula, we have
sinx = = sin
= n
+
(-1)n
Put n= 0 x = 0
+
(-1)0
x =
Put n= 1 x = 1
+
(-1)1
x =
1
x =
=
[ NOTE: =
]
So principal solution is x= and
(v) Given: tan x = -
Formula used: tan = tan
= n
, n
I
By using above formula, we have
tan x = - = tan
x = n
, n
I
Put n= 0 x = n
x =
Put n= 1 x =
x =
So principal solution is x= and
(vi) Given:
sec x =
We know that sec cos
= 1
So cosx =
Formula used: cos = cos
= 2n
, n
I
By using the above formula, we have
cosx = = cos
x = 2n
, n
I
Put n= 0 x = 2n
x =
Put n= 1 x = 2
x =
,
x =

[ 2
So it is not include in principal solution]
So principal solution is x= and
