Given triangle with internal angles , , and , and opposite sides , , and respectively:
(Ⅰ) If , prove that ;
(Ⅱ) If , and the area of is , find the measure of angle .
Solution
(Ⅰ) Proof:
Given that , this can be rewritten as:
\begin{align*}
\cos A &= 3\cos B - 4\cos^3 B \\
&= \cos B (3 - 4\cos^2 B) \\
&= \cos B \left(3 - 4 \times \frac{1+\cos 2B}{2}\right) \\
&= \cos B - 2\cos B \cos 2B \\
\cos A + 2\cos B \cos 2B &= \cos B
\end{align*}
Since , we have , thus we can rewrite the equation as:
\begin{align*}
-\cos 3B + 2\cos B \cos C &= \cos B \\
2\cos B \cos C - \cos B &= \cos 3B \\
2\cos B \cos C - \cos B &= \cos (B + C) \\
&= \cos B \cos C - \sin B \sin C
\end{align*}
Rearranging terms, we have:
\begin{align*}
\cos B \cos C - \cos B &= -\sin B \sin C \\
\cos B (\cos C - 1) &= -\sin B \sin C
\end{align*}
Since and using the identity , we obtain:
This holds true, therefore proving that .
(Ⅱ) **To find angle **:
In triangle , given , we have:
This leads to:
Thus:
Therefore, we get:
Since , we have:
Equivalently:
This can be written as:
Simplifying further, we get:
Hence:
As a result, we have two possibilities for the equation:
Solving for yields:
However, we discard the second value because it is not possible in this context, thus the final answer is:
