Vedclass · Answer

(A) Given that $\frac{1}{6} \sin 	heta, \cos 	heta, 	an 	heta$ are in $G.P.$, we have $\cos^2 	heta = \frac{1}{6} \sin 	heta \cdot 	an 	heta$. Substituting $	an 	heta = \frac{\sin 	heta}{\cos 	heta}$, we get $\cos^2 	heta = \frac{\sin^2 	heta}{6 \cos 	heta}$. This implies $6 \cos^3 	heta = \sin^2 	heta = 1 - \cos^2 	heta$. Rearranging gives $6 \cos^3 	heta + \cos^2 	heta - 1 = 0$. Let $x = \cos 	heta$. Then $6x^3 + x^2 - 1 = 0$. Testing $x = \frac{1}{2}$, we get $6(\frac{1}{8}) + \frac{1}{4} - 1 = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} - 1 = 0$. Thus, $(2 \cos 	heta - 1)$ is a factor. Dividing $6x^3 + x^2 - 1$ by $(2x - 1)$ gives $3x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0$. The discriminant of $3x^2 + 2x + 1$ is $D = 2^2 - 4(3)(1) = 4 - 12 = -8 Therefore, $\cos 	heta = \frac{1}{2}$, which implies $	heta = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$.
