If 9 tan2θ - 3 = 0, find the value of 3sinθ + cos(θ) .
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
9 tan2α - 3 = 0
tan2α = \(\frac{3}{9}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
tanθ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}\)
θ = 30°
Now,
⇒ 3sinθ + cos(θ) = 3 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) + cos(30°)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) + \(\frac{√3}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 + √3}{2}\)
