If $4-2 sin²θ-5 cosθ = 0$,$0° <θ< 90°$, then the value of $cosθ + tanθ$ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
We are given that :-
4 - 2sin²θ - 5cosθ = 0
{ using , sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 }
4 - 2 ( 1 - cos²θ ) - 5cosθ = 0
4 - 2 + 2cos²θ - 5cosθ = 0
2cos²θ - 5cosθ + 2 = 0
2cos²θ - 4cosθ - cosθ + 2 = 0
2cosθ ( cosθ - 2 ) - 1 ( cosθ - 2 ) = 0
( 2cosθ - 1 ) . ( cosθ - 2 ) = 0
Either ( 2cosθ - 1 ) = 0 or ( cosθ - 2 ) = 0
( cosθ - 2 ) = 0 is not possible
So, ( 2cosθ - 1 ) = 0
cosθ = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
{ We know, cos60º = \(\frac{1}{2}\) }
So, θ = 60º
Now,
cosθ + tanθ
= cos 60º + tan 60º
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) + √3
= \(\frac{1 +√3 }{2}\)
