If θ is an acute angle and 9 sinθ + 40 cosθ = 41 , find the value of \(\frac{sinθ}{tanθ}\) + cosθ. |
\(\frac{80}{41}\) \(\frac{80}{37}\) \(\frac{8}{41}\) 0 |
\(\frac{80}{41}\) |
In equation → 9 sinθ + 40 cosθ = 41 If the coefficients of sinθ and cosθ and constant are making a triplet then → 9 sinθ + 40 cosθ = 41 ↓ ↓ ↓ P B H Therefore, \(\frac{sinθ}{tanθ}\) + cosθ = \(\frac{sinθ}{\frac{sinθ}{cosθ}}\) + cosθ = cosθ + cosθ = 2 cosθ = 2 × \(\frac{40}{41}\) = \(\frac{80}{41}\) |
