If 3 tan θ = 4, then what is the value of 7 sinθ - 2 cos θ ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
3 tan θ = 4
tan θ = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
{ we know, tan θ = \(\frac{P}{B}\) }
By using pythagoras theorem,
P² + B² = H²
4² + 3² = H²
H = 5
Now,
7 sinθ - 2 cos θ
= 7 × \(\frac{4}{5}\) - 2 × \(\frac{3}{5}\)
= \(\frac{28}{5}\) - \(\frac{6}{5}\)
= \(\frac{22}{5}\)
