Analyzing the Setup

We are tasked with solving the trigonometric inequality for the domain . While the expression appears straightforward, it requires a systematic approach to identify the valid intervals for .

The Art of Factoring

To simplify the expression, we express in terms of sine and cosine. Substituting , the inequality becomes:
By factoring out , we transform the sum into a product:
Combining the terms inside the parentheses leads to:
Recognizing that , we arrive at the simplified form:

The Hidden Guardian

Consider the term . Since the range of is , the expression is always non-negative, falling within the interval .
Because this term is never negative, it does not affect the sign of the inequality. However, it acts as a constraint: for the product to be strictly greater than zero, we must ensure $1 + \cos 2\theta eq 0$. If , the entire expression becomes zero, violating the strict inequality.

Mapping the Territory

Given , the argument spans the range . We require , which occurs in the first and third quadrants.
In the range , this condition is satisfied when:
We must also satisfy the constraint $\cos 2\theta eq -1$. This occurs when . Since these values are already excluded by our open intervals, the condition is naturally satisfied.

Final Calculation

To determine the final set of values for , we divide each interval by . This yields the solution set:
By factoring, identifying the non-negative term, and carefully mapping the domain, we have successfully solved the inequality. This systematic rigor is the key to mastering JEE-level trigonometric challenges.
