Correct answer: 1
- Given data
We have -rac{\pi}{4}<\beta<0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}{4}, so:
Also,
We need to find and then its floor.
- Introduce simpler variables
Let Then But more directly,
=\frac{\sin\alpha\cos\alpha+\sin\beta\cos\beta}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}$$ which is not immediately helpful. A better observation is: $$\sin(\alpha+\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta+\cos\alpha\sin\beta.$$ Dividing by $\cos\alpha\cos\beta$ gives $$\tan\alpha+\tan\beta=\frac{\sin(\alpha+\beta)}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}.$$ Similarly, $$\cos(\alpha-\beta)=\cos\alpha\cos\beta+\sin\alpha\sin\beta.But the target expression simplifies neatly if we write it as Group terms:
Now,
=\frac{\sin\alpha\cos\alpha+\sin\beta\cos\beta}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta},$$ and $$\frac{\cos\beta}{\sin\alpha}+\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin\beta} =\frac{\sin\beta\cos\beta+\sin\alpha\cos\alpha}{\sin\alpha\sin\beta}.$$ So if we define $$S=\sin\alpha\cos\alpha+\sin\beta\cos\beta,$$ then $$E=S\left(\frac{1}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}+\frac{1}{\sin\alpha\sin\beta}\right).Thus
Using identities, Also,
Hence
So
Now, Thus
- Find
We know Since , we have so and given , therefore
Also, Since , we get
Now use
=\frac{\cos2(\alpha-\beta)-\cos2(\alpha+\beta)}{2}.$$ Compute: $$\cos2(\alpha-\beta)=2\cos^2(\alpha-\beta)-1=2\left(\frac23\right)^2-1=\frac89-1=-\frac19.$$ And $$\cos2(\alpha+\beta)=1-2\sin^2(\alpha+\beta)=1-2\left(\frac13\right)^2=1-\frac29=\frac79.$$ Hence $$\sin2\alpha\sin2\beta=\frac{-1/9-7/9}{2}=\frac{-8/9}{2}=-\frac49.$$ --- 4. **Compute $E$** Substitute into $$E=\frac{16}{27\sin2\alpha\sin2\beta}:$$ $$E=\frac{16}{27\cdot(-4/9)}=\frac{16}{-12}=-\frac43.$$ Therefore, $$E^2=\left(-\frac43\right)^2=\frac{16}{9}.$$ So the greatest integer less than or equal to this is $$\left\lfloor \frac{16}{9}\right\rfloor=1.$$ --- 5. **Final answer** $$\boxed{1}$$ This matches the stored correct answer.More from Trigonometric Functions and Equations
