Question:

If 5 sin2 A + 3cos2A = 4, 0 < A < 90o, then what is the value of tan A ?

Options:

0

3

1

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

We are given that :-

5 sin²A + 3 cos²A = 4

2 sin²A + 3 sin²A + 3 cos²A = 4

{ using , sin²A + cos²A = 1 }

2 sin²A + 3 = 4

2 sin²A = 1

sin A = \(\frac{1}{ √2 }\)

{ we know, sin 45º = \(\frac{1}{ √2 }\) }

So, A = 45º

Now,

tan A

= tan 45º

= 1
