Worked solution

2(i)

1. Cross-multiply the given equation to remove fractions.

3sin⁡(A−B)=2sin⁡(A+B)3\sin(A-B) = 2\sin(A+B)

2. Expand both sides using the addition formulae for sine.

3(sin⁡Acos⁡B−cos⁡Asin⁡B)=2(sin⁡Acos⁡B+cos⁡Asin⁡B)3(\sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B) = 2(\sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B)

3. Expand the brackets and collect like terms.

3sin⁡Acos⁡B−3cos⁡Asin⁡B=2sin⁡Acos⁡B+2cos⁡Asin⁡B3\sin A \cos B - 3\cos A \sin B = 2\sin A \cos B + 2\cos A \sin B
3sin⁡Acos⁡B−2sin⁡Acos⁡B=2cos⁡Asin⁡B+3cos⁡Asin⁡B3\sin A \cos B - 2\sin A \cos B = 2\cos A \sin B + 3\cos A \sin B
sin⁡Acos⁡B=5cos⁡Asin⁡B\sin A \cos B = 5\cos A \sin B

4. Divide both sides by $\cos A \cos B$ to obtain the required tangent terms.

sin⁡Acos⁡Bcos⁡Acos⁡B=5cos⁡Asin⁡Bcos⁡Acos⁡B\frac{\sin A \cos B}{\cos A \cos B} = \frac{5\cos A \sin B}{\cos A \cos B}
tan⁡A=5tan⁡B\tan A = 5\tan B

Answer

tan⁡A=5tan⁡B\tan A = 5\tan B (Shown)

2(ii)

1. Rearrange the given equation to match the form in part (i)

3sin⁡(A−45∘)=2sin⁡(A+45∘)3\sin(A-45^\circ)=2\sin(A+45^\circ)
sin⁡(A−45∘)sin⁡(A+45∘)=23\frac{\sin(A-45^\circ)}{\sin(A+45^\circ)} = \frac{2}{3}

2. Apply the result from part (i) to simplify the equation

Using the result from (i) with B=45∘B = 45^\circ:
tan⁡A=5tan⁡45∘\tan A = 5\tan 45^\circ
Since tan⁡45∘=1\tan 45^\circ = 1,
tan⁡A=5(1)=5\tan A = 5(1) = 5

3. Solve for A in the given interval

Basic angle α=tan⁡−1(5)≈78.690∘\alpha = \tan^{-1}(5) \approx 78.690^\circ
Since tan⁡A\tan A is positive, AA lies in the 1st and 3rd quadrants.
A=78.690∘ or 180∘+78.690∘A = 78.690^\circ \text{ or } 180^\circ + 78.690^\circ
A=78.7∘ or 258.7∘ (to 1 d.p.)A = 78.7^\circ \text{ or } 258.7^\circ \text{ (to 1 d.p.)}

Answer

A=78.7∘,258.7∘A = 78.7^\circ, 258.7^\circ
