If θ is an acute angle and 5 sinθ + 12 cosθ = 13, find the value of \(\frac{sinθ}{tanθ}\) + cosθ.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
In equation → 5 sinθ + 12 cosθ = 13
If the coefficients of sinθ and cosθ and constant are making a triplet then →
5 sinθ + 12 cosθ = 13

Therefore,
\(\frac{sinθ}{tanθ}\) + cosθ = \(\frac{sinθ}{\frac{sinθ}{cosθ}}\) + cosθ
= cosθ + cosθ
= 2 cosθ
= 2 × \(\frac{12}{13}\)
= \(\frac{24}{13}\)
