Are you sure the domain of \"theta\" is limited to \"+0%3C=+theta+%3C=+2+\" ? (It looks as though it might really be \"+0+%3C=+theta+%3C=+2pi+\" (?) ) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I ask because for \"+0%3C=theta%3C=2+\" none of the answers work because they all have values of \"+theta\" outside [0,2].
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "If the domain is \"+0+%3C=+theta+%3C=+2pi+\" then (a) works. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First lets factor out a \"+cos%28theta%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sin%28theta%29cos%28theta%29+%2B+cos%28theta%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"+cos%28theta%29%28sin%28theta%29%2B1%29+=+0+\" (*)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(*) is zero if \"cos%28theta%29+=+0\" or \"+sin%28theta%29%2B1+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "(a)
\n" ); document.write( " \"+cos%28pi%2F2%29+=+0+\" so (*) is zero
\n" ); document.write( " \"+cos%283pi%2F2%29+=+0\" so again (*) goes to zero.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "(b) does not work because (*) is not zero for \"+theta+=+0+\" or \"+theta+=+pi+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(c) does not work because (*) is not zero for \"+theta+=+-1+\" ( it is zero only for \"+theta+=+pi%2F2+\" )
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
