If $4cos^2θ-3sin^2θ + 2 =0$, then the value of tanθ is (where 0 ≤ θ ≤ 90°)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
4 cos²θ - 3 sin²θ + 2 = 0
{ sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 }
4 cos²θ - 3 ( 1 - cos²θ ) + 2 = 0
7 cos²θ = 1
cos²θ = \(\frac{1 }{7}\)
Now, sin²θ = 1 - \(\frac{1 }{7}\)
= \(\frac{6}{7}\)
Now,
tan²θ
= \(\frac{sin²θ }{cos²θ }\)
= \(\frac{6 }{1}\)
tan θ = \(\sqrt {6 }\)
