If 6 tan2θ - 2 = 0, find the value of 3sinθ + cos2(1.5θ)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
6 tan2θ - 2 = 0
tan2θ = \(\frac{2}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
tanθ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}\)
θ = 30°
Now,
⇒ 3sinθ + cos2(1.5θ) = 3 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) + cos2(45°)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 2
