Question:

If $7 \sin^2 \theta + 3 \cos^2 \theta = 4, 0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ$, then the value of tanθ is:

Options:

7

$\frac{1}{√3}$

$\frac{15}{4}$

$\frac{13}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{√3}$

Explanation:

7 sin²θ + 3 cos²θ = 4

4 sin²θ + 3 sin²θ + 3 cos²θ = 4

{ using , sin²θ +  cos²θ = 1 } \

4 sin²θ + 3 = 4

Sinθ = \(\frac{ 1}{2}\)

{ using , Sin30º = \(\frac{ √3}{2}\) }

So, θ = 30º

tanθ

= tan30º

= \(\frac{ 1}{√3}\)
