#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...
