Question

If [x] denotes the greatest integer \le x, then the system of linear equations [sin θ\theta ]x + [–cosθ\theta ]y = 0, [cotθ\theta ]x + y = 0

Options

Solution

if θ\theta \in (π2,2π3)\left( {{\pi \over 2},{{2\pi } \over 3}} \right) cosθ(12,0)cosθ(0,12) \Rightarrow \cos \theta \in \left( { - {1 \over 2},0} \right) \Rightarrow - \cos \theta \in \left( {0,{1 \over 2}} \right) sinθ(32,1)\sin \theta \in \left( {{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2},1} \right) and cotθ(13,0)\cot \theta \in \left( { - {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }},0} \right) If θ(π,7π6)cosθ(1,32)cosθ(32,1)\theta \in \left( {\pi ,{{7\pi } \over 6}} \right) \Rightarrow \cos \theta \in \left( { - 1,{{ - \sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right) \Rightarrow - \cos \theta \in \left( {{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2},1} \right) sinθ(12,0)\sin \theta \in \left( { - {1 \over 2},0} \right) and cotθ(3,)\cot \theta \in \left( {\sqrt 3 ,\infty } \right) Then in θ\theta \in (π2,2π3)\left( {{\pi \over 2},{{2\pi } \over 3}} \right) \Rightarrow [sinθ\theta ] = 0; [-cosθ\theta ] = 0; [cotθ\theta ] = -1; Hence 0 = 0 and -x + y = 0 [have infinitely solutions] and in θ(π,7π6)\theta \in \left( {\pi ,{{7\pi } \over 6}} \right) \Rightarrow [sinθ\theta ] = -1; [-cosθ\theta ] = 0; [cotθ\theta ] = 1, 2. 3 ...........; Then -x - 0.y = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 [cotθ]x+y=0[\cot \theta ]x + y = 0 \Rightarrow 1.x + y = 0 or 2x + y = 0 or ....... each of the line will cut x = 0 at exactly one point. Hence unique solutions.
