Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Perform row operations to simplify the determinant. Specifically, R1 -> R1 - R3 and R2 -> R2 - R3 to reduce the determinant to a simpler form involving sin^2 A + cos^2 A = 1.
Applying R1 → R1 - R3 and R2 → R2 - R3:<br><br><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black; display: inline-table; vertical-align: middle;"><tr><td style="padding: 5px; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black;">1</td><td style="padding: 5px; border-right: 1px solid black;">0</td><td style="padding: 5px; border-right: 1px solid black;">-1</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5px; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black;">0</td><td style="padding: 5px; border-right: 1px solid black;">1</td><td style="padding: 5px; border-right: 1px solid black;">-1</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5px; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black;">sin<sup>2</sup> A</td><td style="padding: 5px; border-right: 1px solid black;">cos<sup>2</sup> A</td><td style="padding: 5px; border-right: 1px solid black;">1+2sin 4θ</td></tr></table> = 0<br><br>Expanding along R1: 1(1+2sin 4θ + cos<sup>2</sup> A) - 1(0 - sin<sup>2</sup> A) = 0<br>1 + 2sin 4θ + cos<sup>2</sup> A + sin<sup>2</sup> A = 0<br>1 + 2sin 4θ + 1 = 0<br>2 + 2sin 4θ = 0<br>sin 4θ = -1<br>4θ = -π/2, 3π/2, ...<br>θ = -π/8, 3π/8, ...<br>Since the equation is independent of A, any A in the given range [0, π/2] satisfies the equation.
