Question:

If tan2 θ + tan4 θ = 7, then the value of 7cos4 θ+ cos2 θ is?

Options:

3

5

1

2

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

⇒ tan 2 θ + tan 4 θ = 7

⇒ tan 2 θ (1 + tan 2 θ) = 7                

⇒ tan 2 θ (sec 2 θ) = 7                           

⇒ \(\frac{sin^2 θ}{cos^2 θ}\) × \(\frac{1}{cos^2 θ}\) = 7   

⇒ sin2 θ = 7cos4 θ

⇒ 1 - cos 2 θ = 7cos 4 θ

⇒ 7cos 4 θ + cos 2 θ = 1
